ITALIAN IGNORANCE SAVES THE DAY

The Leaning Tower Of Neo

Genealogy often has crazy twists and turns.  Here's an instance where being "bad" benefited his descendants.


A major success today.  In just 4 hours I was able to trace Fanny's family line, one that she knew nothing about, back to her Italian immigrant and also verify that she does, in fact, qualify for Italian Citizenship by Descent.

A thrilling day for sure!

But it almost didn't happen.

Her immigrant ancestor had petitioned  for American Citizenship in 1905, but when 1909 came around for the decision to grant it or not, he was denied for "being completely ignorant".  Thankfully, he never tried again.  So, like Neo from The Matrix, talk about dodging a bullet!

His descendants are most grateful for his "ignorance"!

Are you curious to find out if you have a "Lucky Bloodline" ancestor, too?  Drop me a line or give me a call and I'll get started on it as soon as I can.
