Citizenship Journey Help?
Hello. I filled out a form on another sub and was told that I do qualify for citizenship by descent. My great-grandfather was born in Warsaw in 1902 and lived there until leaving for America in September, 1922. He was Jewish. I was told by JHI that there is no birth record of him using the name (the name he used in Poland vs. the Americanized name he took on arrival) and his father's name that he listed on his ship passenger list, most likely due to the war. However, many other people have this same obstacle because the destruction of records was so wide-spread, yet still manage to prove lineage and residency. How? I'm stumped. Thank you in advance for your help!
