Hi guys,
I'm completely new to this genealogy stuff, so please bear with me.
My GGF was born in Rome in 1887, but petitioned for American citizenship in 1933, just 3 months before my GM was born. He signed an Oath of Allegiance before she was born as well. This is probably a stupid question, but even if he wasn't naturalized, that Oath invalidates my right to citizenship, correct? And furthermore... the consulate would find it even if I didn't submit it to them? Part of me was hoping I could get a letter of non-existence for the naturalization certificate, and pretend the Oath doesn't exist, haha.
If that doesn't work, his wife, my GGM, was also born in Italy. However, I can't find anything about her on FamilySearch or Fold3 except for her certificate of arrival. Can anyone give me tips on where to start?
Thanks in advance!
