Multiple variations of a name...what to do?

I qualify for jure sanguinis through GGF-GM-M. However, my GGF used many, many variations of his name on official documents:

Italian birth record (1896): Giuseppe Nicola Falco

My Grandmother's Birth Certificate (1927): Joseph Falco ...

Re: Prepaid return postage from Italy

In case anybody runs into this question again, I am posting what I ended up doing. Following Rossonero's advice, I sent a written request to my comune requesting a copy of the birth certificate along with a letter, a return envelope with my address, copy of my photo identification, and 15 euros. I ...

Prepaid return postage from Italy

Hi, all:

You have been incredibly helpful with my questions so far, so I come to you with another. I contacted via email the comune where my great-grandfather was born (Bari, Ceglie del Campo delegazione) and asked if they could send a certified copy of my great-grandfather's birth certificate. I ...

Re: How important is the non-immigrant spouse's birth certificate?

That makes sense--thanks for the info. I have contacted all of the agencies that could have vital records for my great grandmother and they do not have a birth certificate. She was, however, married before my great grandfather and had one child who my great grandfather "adopted" (I don't think there ...

How important is the non-immigrant spouse's birth certificate?

I believe I am eligible for citizenship jus sanguinis based on my Great Grandfather's birth in Italy in 1894. As part of the paperwork that the consulate requires, I must provide a birth certificate for the American woman my GGF married after he came to the USA. However, that woman, my Great ...

Confirmed Appointment in Chicago

I hopped on the Chicago consulate's website today and saw that they had some appointments available, so I grabbed one since I don't know when future batches of appointments will be released--I am confirmed for April 29, 2019.

Most of my relevant documents for the citizenship appointment come from ...

Jus Sanguinis through maternal side

I submitted this yesterday, but I am resubmitting because I am not sure if it went through. Apologize if this is a double post.

I have been researching the issue and believe I qualify for citizenship, however I would love to hear from the panel of experts on here as to all of your thoughts. Here ...
