I won my case and the judge is going to sign a court order so I can get a delayed filing of my grandmother's birth certificate.

woo hoo!!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

tomorrow is my court date.

I will let everyone know the outcome

I filed a complaint to issue a retro-active birth record. it's a court order, every state is different and the state I am dealing with is NJ

any update on this ?

I would like to know more too as it is similiar to my case:

1)me

2) mother (born 1948)

3) grandmother (born in USA, married 1935 to an Italian born citizen of the USA that was naturalized in 1922)

I plan on doing the translations myself for my jus sanguinis citizen app.

are there any good templates out there?

should I just use my italian ancestors birth certificate and marriage docs as guidelines?

thanks

i am doing something similiar in NJ

i am getting a court order to have a birth record made for my italian grandmother.

I guess I will find out on November 27th 2009.

"JamesBiancoMler you failed to notice this:

grandmother b. 1908 US, married US citizen 1935
mother born 1948

she is a he. and thanks for the replies!!
