I am looking for advice on where to start with this whole process. I know all the information I need to obtain dual citizenship, but I am not sure how I can obtain it, nor how easy it will be. The hardest part is that my great-grandfather's name was Salvatore Russo; there are probably a million Salvatore Russos that keep coming up in my searches, and I don't know which is the right one! What I do know about him is that he and my great-grandmother (don't even know HER name) came over from Italy to Vineland, New Jersey in the 1800's to settle. Then my grandfather and 2 other siblings were born. I have no idea my great-grandfather became a naturalized citizen or not, and nobody else knows either. Unfortunately my dad passed away 11 years ago, so I can't ask him either. My dad had a few siblings, but the closest also passed away, and the others don't really speak to us, so it would be hard to get more information. I know I need to start searching in New Jersey, but I am not really sure where. Any direction would be most appreciated, as right now I feel very overwhelmed. I already have an account with ancestry.com, but it has not proven to be very helpful at this point. They can't even find MY birth certificate and I know it exists.......
Thank you...........
