Case examples
Three illustrative cases that show what the research involves: one straightforward, one hard, and one where the answer is no. They are examples, not client files.
Illustrations
Illustrative example: Grandparent line
The family knew her married name and a rough year. Her birth turned out to be registered under another spelling of the surname, and the link to her daughter, born in Boston, rested on a marriage record held somewhere else again.
Illustrative example: Great-grandparent line
No civil birth record existed. The parish register gave the baptism and both parents' names, and a border crossing record from 1912 tied the same man to the family that later appears in Maine.
Illustrative example: Parent line
Everything turned on a date. Citizenship passes only to children born after a parent becomes a citizen, and the client was born in 1989. The citizenship record confirmed that the oath came two years too late.

The cases on this page are illustrative examples and do not describe real clients. Every family line is different, and no example predicts how an application will be decided.
