The dates of birth of the two people look reasonable to your people. You need to get those papers. Not only will those declarations and petitions (separate application forms) have their pictures, but there should be a "Certificate of Arrival" as part of the package that would show how they entered the U.S. In the 1940s/1950s both would have had to go through the process to become citizens. It would be $20 well worth spending. Joel W.
