Kind of getting frustrated. Unless someone here can help I'm going to have to break down and pay for one of those sites when I can afford it. What I'm trying to do is trace back my lineage to Italy because by Italian citizenship laws if my great grandfather didn't become a citizen, or at least not before my grandfather was born, then my grandfather on down are citizens of both US and Italy. There's just a long bureaucratic nightmare of paperwork to go through to prove it. Some of the paperwork I need birth and death certificates and to get those I need parents names. My grandmother and grandfather got divorced when my father was a child so I know nothing about that side of the family.
From what crap little info you can get for free on ancestery.com for free the 1930 census has him listed but the ages of everyone else is way off to be his mother or father. One chick was like 16, not to uncommon to be married at 16 back then I guess, however, no spouse listed and she would have been like 12 when my grandfather was born.
Only other Galia names listed in the county are married to eachother, however, she's 35 at his birth and he's 44. Seems kind of old to be having a child. That's the frustrating part. I think Earnest's parents would be listed in the census records on file. Another thing is that I don't know how the census worked back then. If only my grandfather was a citizen in the house would he be hte only one counted or would his parents be counted as well, even if they weren't citizens. Maybe they only listed him because he was the only citizen and Caesar and Helena Galia aren't his parents and my great grandfather wasn't naturalised at that point or never did so, which is perfect. Or maybe they are his parents and naturalised before he was born and I'm screwed. So frustrating!
