| Jul 24, 2017 at 8:03 | comment | added | BritishSam | thanks @mts i might set up a meeting, I emailed them but got a generic citizenship email back, I have been to the consulate near me before in manchester UK with my grandma, and it was 2 elderly local italian volunteers so who knows what answers they will give me | |

Also asking different people can help in my experience with Italian bureaucracy if you are not satisfied with the first answer. Contacting the local comune in Italy is also something you should try, maybe with the help of your relatives there who might have better connections and command of the language? | |
| Jul 19, 2017 at 9:12 | comment | added | BritishSam | @phoog I know that seems simple its just my grandma got a passport the other year and had to go to the consulate instead of just applying by post because she couldn't get her birth certificate, they had a record of her though. There's also an issue with her DOB, she was registered on a different date than her birth and some of her documents have one date or the other, all a bit confusing! | |
| Jul 19, 2017 at 9:08 | comment | added | BritishSam | @phoog I can easily find out where he was born(near Warsaw) but I don't think his matters so much, my cousin(different grandmother) got his without his grandfathers Yugoslavian documents as they're not needed for the citizenship. You're right I have family in the village and haven't seen them for a while so might be worth going over, could get them to ask too. I'll come back and post an answer when all is complete with what happened. Thanks for you advice | |
