Let me get this straight. Are you wanting to change citizenship? Are you wanting to obtain dual citizenship? Why??They are two separate things. Last time I looked, our State Department had some dire warnings regarding these endeavors. Especially with the dual route. US Embassies in foreign lands could (in emergencies) punt you off to fend for yourself because you are a citizen at home in your new country and conceivably don¡¯t need their help,?as they would be obliged to help US only?citizens first. You jokingly (I think) mentioned health care concerns. Some look to this route for tax purposes. If you don¡¯t plan to go the expat route and live in another country forever, again I ask why?
I¡¯m in favor of you trying to locate the documents needed if only to have them for family records. Search on.

Two friends in my Italian class tried it. One succeeded. The other one has hit one hurdle after another.
Vince voted in one of their last elections. My other friend, Rosa, is the one still trying and the embassy or consulate in Philly is holding up the whole process. Neither one is thinking of living there.
Lonie collected lots of documents, but I¡¯ve never seen Pop's Italian birth certificate . The only thing that might be helpful would be something from the town hall in Sant¡¯Omero. Lonie, Becky, and I went there and their records go back a ways. We found my grandfather listed there. Lonie was much more interested in those things than I. But, I was impressed with the office and how quickly the clerk came out with a ledger the side of ?a wall paper sample book. And, was nice about it.

I've been hearing from my friends of Irish descent about getting their Irish citizenship and decided to look into getting Italian citizenship. The link above shows what documents you would need and I was wondering if anyone might know if any of these documents
are in a box in the attic or something?
just planning my future health care plans...lol
