    3. The record from Virginia (the earlier record) has an Oath of Allegiance and the Order of Court Admitting Petitioner. Was there another step?

    2. JEANNINE ZEIS
    3. List, I have my great-grandfather's naturalization records stating that he was naturalized on March 4, 1920 in Pittsburgh (Western PA district). Last week, my cousin found another record from Virginia filed on July 3rd, 1918 at Camp Humphreys. Was this common? Anyone who has access to ancestry can see the records first hand if they would like- Antoni Budziszewski (last name mis-spelled Budziszwski in the 1918 record). I'm sure both records are him as they have his date of birth, home town, emigration date, etc. Thank you! Jeannine

    3. I just got off the phone with Mom talking about these e-mails and she said for years she tried to get my Dad to go see his grandmother and Dad never wanted to. Finally, he told Mom, "She wouldn't know me if I went to see her anyway." Mom always figured that he meant that because of her estrangement from the family due to divorce, she wouldn't didn't know who he was. But she said on the phone to me just now, "maybe he meant she had dementia and wouldn't know him because of the dementia." Dad is dead, but mom is going to write to his brother still living and see if he can tell us what mental condition she had in the years preceding her death. It is kind of fascinating to put small pieces together and come up with a more complete picture.
