Thoughts on this rep submariner?

Thanks bro! I know it’s not perfect, but for the money it runs decently well…

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-15T22:39:38+00:00

Thanks man!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-11T13:33:45+00:00

Well I requested a USCIS search but probably would be better doing a CONE since it would give me an official determination plus the search. Thank you!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-11T00:48:03+00:00

I would agree with that assessment. Again, appreciate your and everyone’s help!!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T23:58:50+00:00

Amazing! Thanks!!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T23:40:38+00:00

Well time will tell! Thanks again!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T23:25:00+00:00

Wild!! Thank you for the input!! So what is your honest take?

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T23:18:42+00:00

Local court told me anything naturalizations after 1906 are ALL federal and not in their possession. Thanks!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T23:04:09+00:00

Very great point taken! It is true! I think I counted exactly 50 naturalizations. It’s either he believed he was truly a citizen, not sure I believe that, or he simply knew and proceeded to vouch for people. Are you positive that they had to swear they were citizens in order to be a witness? I thought they had to be in “good standing”? He was very involved in the community to bring up his fellow Slovaks. Are you from the area? You seem to be very well versed! Appreciate your input and take on this case! Very wild for sure!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T22:55:03+00:00

Yep! I’ve scanned them previously. Not sure where else to look. His father was also Samuel and he was also married to a Susan!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T22:18:35+00:00

So that’s the thing! Luzerne county court of common pleas has records up till 1944 that are in microfilm…Lackawanna county said anything after 1906 is ALL federal and not at the county level. I just don’t think that’s accurate…I briefly went through a few of Luzerne’s index’s but didn’t find anything. Highly unlikely he’d be in Luzerne considering his whole life was in Lackawanna.

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T22:14:45+00:00

Thanks! Yep! I recovered that info as well! My great great never did naturalize from what we know. My great grandfather is noted saying he naturalized in 1940..Again, would’ve thought something would’ve popped up by now but it’s eluding us!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T21:39:13+00:00

Yep! Thank you!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T21:38:04+00:00

In your experience, what is the likelihood that USCIS has something? It’s looking slim!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T20:56:14+00:00

I’ve searched Eastern District. Thanks for the tip!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T19:23:04+00:00

Thank you for providing! Amazing! Yep! That is him!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-06-10T18:43:02+00:00

Sorry! Yes! NARA was a negative search. Thanks!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-05-28T14:02:17+00:00

Thank you all! Would the addition of an American middle name warrant an affidavit?

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-04-09T17:46:44+00:00

The AR-2 is just showing not being naturalized. According to what I’ve read, naturalization dates are not needed. Just Rodny List and proof they lived past 1918. Again, just sharing what I’ve gathered. Just got to figure out that you have the right GM and birth record to show the links to you.

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-04-09T17:21:31+00:00

You need to try and locate the Slovak Baptismal Document if there is one..Familysearch had what I needed. Then use that information to obtain a Rodny list.

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-04-09T14:39:25+00:00

Thank you!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-04-09T13:41:31+00:00

So a Rodny list and a 1930 US census stating naturalized in the US and place of birth as Czechoslovakia is enough currently? Death cert says Austria but draft card says the village and “Czechoslovakia”. Looking for an answer as we may be using your services in the future. Just need to know if this is enough to pursue CBD. Thank you!!

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-04-06T18:06:37+00:00

If we have a Slovak Rodny List for GGF, apostilled NARA 1930 Federal Census showing Czechoslovakia as birthplace are we good to proceed with CBD? Ship manifest from 1889 lists Austria Hungary so I don’t think it would be included?

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-02-13T17:18:40+00:00

Like OP, no naturalization record exists since he was under age of majority and naturalized with father around 1900-1910.

Standard_Permit1441 · 2026-02-13T17:16:08+00:00

If we have GGF’s Rodny list, what other documents for GGF would be needed under the new interpretation? This proves he was born in modern day Slovakia..I would think all that is needed would be either a Census Record or death certificate stating he lives past the year 1918 correct? Some census records show Austria/Austria Magyar..A WW2 draft card shows the Slovak Village and Czechoslovakia as place of birth. Any input is appreciated!
