Determine if either of your Italian great-grandfathers naturalized in the US prior to birth of your Grandparents. They could not pass Italian citizenship to children born after their naturalization.If the grandparent/parent whom you are tracing Italian citizenship through was female, only her children born after 1947 could receive Italian citizenship through her.If the above conditions are met, you're eligible. You'll need proof of great-grandfather's US naturalization date (if any), birth, marriage, death certificates for ancestors in the chain. See your regional Italian consulate's website regarding an appoinment.
