To prove my Italian birthright, I have to acquire a number of essential documents.
I need the birth, marriage and death certificates for everyone in my line (where applicable). As you remember, my line is pretty simple: GGF > GF > F > Me. Since my Great Grandmother Angela could also be my LIRA (though going through the paternal line is simpler), I will get her documents as well.
And I’m super lucky that no one moved around much – beside the birth and marriage certificates for Guiseppe, Angela and myself — every other document will have to come from Rhode Island.
12 in total — 3 from Italy, 7 from RI and 2 from other states! Whew!
Add to that, the Naturalization records from the Superior Court of Rhode Island, and I should have what I need.
