When applying for Italian Dual Citizenship or researching your Family History, the starting point is the official Italian birth record of that first Italian born ancestor who migrated to the U.S. We must remember that all family documents in Italy are only maintained in the exact town where the person was born. Surprisingly, many Italian Americans today often do not know the exact town of their Father or Grandfather or Great Grandfather.  The good news is that there are several U.S.

The Italian Consulate needs indisputable proof of the link between the applicant (you) and the Italian ancestor through whom you are obtaining Italian Dual Citizenship. What is required and expected is clearly defined on each Italian Consulate website. This means that to get to your appointment with a “near” perfect document portfolio, you will need to take care of all the discrepancies that may be present in some of your vital records.

Our client, Phillip Infelise from Colorado, recently made a trip to his ancestral town in Italy. Phillip wrote about his experience in Piane Crati and was kind enough to share his unforgettable journey with us. Thank you for allowing us to play a small part in your Italian family story as researchers and guides! 

On Thursday, May 21, in partnership with the National Italian American Foundation, we had the first of a three-part WEBINAR on Italian Genealogy and Dual Citizenship. In the first session, we answered both Genealogy and Italian Dual Citizenship questions.
