[TI] Love the database

[Ann Catalano]

Occasionally I will type in a name of an ancestor that I have searched
before in the hopes of finding out more information.  The other night,
bingo, I found my great-grandfather's death date (Fabiano Catalano, 1909).
I had wondered if he had died in Termini or had immigrated to the US.  I
often suspected that he had died in Termini and his wife, Liboria D'Angelo,
then came to the US to live with her son, Angelo (my grandfather's brother).
Many years ago I discovered that she was buried in a local cemetery in an
unmarked grave.  She died before my father was born (1915) and he never knew
that she had ever been in the U.S.    Why she is in an unmarked grave, I
don't know because my grandfather was not destitute and could certainly have
afforded a marker.  Someday, I will have a marker put on her grave.

So, thank you, Laura, once again . . . the database continues to be a gold
mine of information and I love those moments when you find a tantalizing bit
of information that answers a question.

Now on another note . . . does anyone know if it is possible to get Italian
citizenship if you are an American citizen?  I was told that if you had
relatives from Italy, you could apply for Italian citizenship.  Is that
true?  I was also told that if your relatives were naturalized citizens of
the US, then you couldn't do this.  Sooo that leads me to my next question .
. . I know that my grandfather, William Salvatore Catalano, was a
naturalized citizen but I have never found naturalization papers for my
grandmother, Josephine Catalano.  She came to the US when she was 4 years
old (Around 1886).  Would she have her own naturalization papers or would
they be with her mother and father.  I have never found their naturalization
papers either.  I know at one time I found these records somewhere in
Cleveland (that is where they lived)but can't seem to remember where.  Is
there an online resource to research naturalization?  

Thanks for any help you can offer.
