Due to the high volume of jure sanguinis applications at all Italian Consulates in the United States it is difficult to predict how long it will take until you are notified by your Italian Consulate that you can apply for a passport if you want one. It is not unusual for it to take between 6 and 12 months before you hear from them.

A family tree is mostly a collection of birth, marriage and death information; this is possible when these records are available and when we know the essential information to start a research in the Italian local sources such as town halls and parish churches.
If we want to expand our family history with facts and additional information, or if we need help to find some missing data (i.e. the exact town of birth), military and conscription records can be very helpful.
