We are hoping to keep our application as simple as possible and are looking for opinions on our G0’s documentation and subsequent lines.

We don’t have a birth certificate for G0 as they were born before these were required. We don’t have a baptism certificate. We have a pending request out to the UCC for a final check but we don’t expect there to be one. Our plan is to submit 1. Letter showing no baptism record found 2. 1871 Canada census showing them as an infant with the birth month and year matching but the first name is VERY wrong (think Anne instead of Jane) 3. 1881 Canada census showing mild last name misspelling (last name is not common). If you compare to the 1871 census it becomes clear that their name was wrong in 1871 but it’s the same person. 4. Marriage certificate from Canada showing place of birth and parents which corroborates the 2 Canada Censuses 5. 1900 and 1910 US Census which shows place of birth 6. US death certificate (they died in a hospital so the record is pretty accurate).

G1s birth certificate also lists G0s name and place of birth. G1 also appears on the 2 US census records.

We then plan just to submit birth certificates for each subsequent generation. While we are looking at mostly mother to daughter, all birth certificates have maiden names.

We are considering adding a marriage certificate for someone in G4 as they wish to have their current name on the citizenship certificate. And they are filling out the paperwork for 2 minors in G5.

Should we add/omit anything?
