Working toward Hungarian Simplified Naturalization- What's next?
Hello,
I am trying to determine what will be needed specifically to apply for simplified Naturalization.
I have some documents and have found some information online but I'm trying to determine:
- What else will be needed
-The simplest path for next research with a genealogist
Both of my Great Grandparents were Hungarian.
My great grandfather (Sandor Nagy) was born 2/19/1885 and per his naturalization documents he immigrated to NYC arriving on September 5th 1901. However I can't find him on any ship passenger list, or any documents pertaining to him from the Hungarian side.
Per his declaration he was born in Pisanicz Austria Hungary and lists last foreign residence as Milincka Hungary.
He married a woman in the US in 1911, and got divorced in 1923 before marrying my great grandmother in October 1923. (I found copies of that marriage and divorce record via family search).
My great grandmother (Jolan Horvathy/ Horvati/ Horvazt ) was born 4/23/1901 and came to NYC on 1/19/1921.
She was listed as married on her arrival documents with her husband staying in Hungary with the name of Janos Herczeg. Her Birth place and last residence is listed as Viacevo Cz, SL.
I found a PA court degree stating her divorced from her first husband in 1923 (as part of her marriage application to marry Alex). However, the decree lists her first husband's name as "Sandor Herczeg".
I also know the names and DOB of siblings of Yolan, As well as her parents names, and when all of them came to the US.
I have more information relating to Yolan- but I believe with the first marriage in Hungary I will need to have a geneologist there look for:
-Her Birth Certificate
-Her first Marriage certificate to Janos Herczeg
-And I'm unsure if they would also need to find her first husband's birth certificate as well to prove he was also Hungarian?
My other option is looking into Alex Nagy- but I have much less information on that side. However I believe I would only need:
- His Hungarian Birth Certificate
If any one has any insight on the overall process, thoughts on best routes, suggestions, or information on specifically what documents will be needed that would be greatly greatly appreciated.
