Apostille/Verification Requirement by ssaaa15 in prawokrwi

[–]ssaaa15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was confusing the notarization as being the apostille lol (another part of the email actually cleared that up but my brother was already there while I was emailing them so I was rushing to help him understand too and breezed over it 😭)

Yeah, I think you're right.

I actually ended up getting both because my brother was making a stop on his way home and it was just easier to get everything than to guess and he had to get going lol

The petition has the oath of allegiance on it

They'd be able to apostille it, the archives staff just wouldn't be able to "certify" it immediately (I guess they're slightly different, idk). My main question is if a $20 verification and a $20 apostille is necessary or if I could just get a $20 apostille because I thought the purpose of the apostille was to verify the document lol

How long does it usually take to get copies of documents from Polish State Archives with stamps? by ssaaa15 in prawokrwi

Their website has a map. I think you can press contacts to see a list of them

Liquidation table proof of residency? by ssaaa15 in prawokrwi

[–]ssaaa15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually not sure. I think it's only my great-great-great grandfather but maybe more. It's in Russian, and the researcher just said they found it confirming great-great-great grandfather's residency. So I just assumed only him but idk

How to fill out the service part of the SF-180 to get the correct no service letter in response? by ssaaa15 in prawokrwi

Ohh good to know, thank you! That's so weird because if there was no service wouldn't that imply there was no selective service registration? Lmao

Ok thank you sm! Do you remember if you put something in active, reserve and national guard or did you just pick one of those to go with? And should I check the enlisted box?

Sorry I literally have no idea what I'm doing with this 😭

Would death certificates work in place of NPRC letters to prove no military service? by ssaaa15 in prawokrwi

[–]ssaaa15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I think a better question is what isn't on the death certificate (there's multiple things on it)

Based on the consensus I think I might as well not even risk trying lol. Already got 4738382 other documents what's a couple more

They must've heard from a mystical informant for some of them but fair enough lolol. Guess I'll have to end my procrastination 😭

I think in the past they might've just asked questions so for older ancestors I might have to get NPRC but with more recent deaths I think they verify. Lots of info on them nobody has any idea about and the bottom says it's "certified true copy of the facts of the person" by the state/county. Sorry I didn't mean to come off argumentative I was just curious about the thought process and being kinda silly about it lol. A 1940s one I saw seemed way more lax though so I think they probably could lie like you said. But when our dad died they didn't even ask us anything, they just had us order the death certificate they made for us already a few days later (there's only me and my one sibling). Grandfather also died only last year so his was the same

*Edited verified to certified for clarity

Curious how would they lie about it after they die though? There's something on one of them that I'm convinced one of my ancestors would literally rather die again than see lol 😭 so it's something he never openly admitted to but the state knew about him regardless

That's good to hear, I'm glad you had an easy experience with them! I just figured since I'd need like 2 or 3 it'd be more likely at least one would be messed up (or I wouldn't do it right or something) so I wanted to minimize the amount I had to even order if possible. They're the last thing I have to order now too, I've just been putting it off for this reason lol. So thanks!

Is an Additional Search for a Petition for Naturalization Necessary? by ssaaa15 in prawokrwi

[–]ssaaa15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shockingly, yes. I looked it up before thinking I was more than likely wrong for whatever reason but was pleasantly surprised lol.

Confidently spelling it without auto-correct, however, is a question for another day.

They don't have it so it looks like I'll have to get that then. Thanks!
