Yesterday, after randomly chatting with my cousin, i discovered.

GF born in 1909 in Bremerhaven, Germany

He moved to Queens USA in 1925

He married a USA citizen 1931 in Queens NY.

Had my mother in 1932 in Queens NY

Had my uncle in 1933. (cousin's path) in Queens NY

applied to naturalize in 1940. died in 1959 The Naturalization documents have my Mother and Uncle listed.

Mom married Dad in 1951 in Queens NY

I was born 1968

i'm assuming its StAG 5 for me, and regular path for my cousin? and we can apply together.

My last day of my old job was end of February.

I supported web and on-prem applications, I wrote and maintained one-off data loads and was basically a IT generalist with a database background. Busy days and thankless leaders. My immediate boss was excellent though. Top heavy management was causing many good folks to leave.

When stuff started getting delayed or deployed poorly, they wanted to know what was happening and what to fix: They refused to listen to me to get additional help, as I was underwater with single threaded workload.

So I quit.

They absolutely panicked and asked me to consult to help them get through things. At the end of my contract, it wasn't worth my effort or care, so i terminated the contract and signed out for good.

They double panicked as the new guy deleted massive amounts of data, didn't recover any of it, waited weeks to be discovered, and only partial data was recoverable. He also broke processes and they then begged me to help figure it out.

Today I met with them, and watched the "new guy stumble through the issue, in a area he was supposed to be an expert. While my old boss was observing him stumble through basic stuff. "

I sorta hope they crash out.
