Thanks for the help. I checked the previous citizenship thread and learned a lot. I have my father's birth and baptism records from Graciosa but he changed his name when he came to America and I don't have a record of that name change. (Don't know if it was ever changed legally.) It seems that without that record I can't proceed with the citizenship process. But HK, I'll contact you off list to find out how your process is going.
