There may be a situation where an applicant knows that he or she qualifies for Italian Dual Citizenship but their living ancestor does not have a copy of their Naturalization Certificate or they are unsure as to the details of their naturalization.
In celebration of Italian American Heritage Month, the Sons of Italy® is giving away a genealogy research package valued at $1,500 and donated by My Italian Family®.
When you join the Sons of Italy® as a new national at-large member, renew your at-large membership, or give the gift of at-large membership via www.osia.org during October, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win a choice between two research packages. Winner will be drawn at random on November 4.
