Every claim citing this source is accepted as confirmed, supported or family-confirmed.

Open questions touching these claims

  • In which court and year was Primo admitted to citizenship? The Colorado naturalization index shows a 1943 petition-and-declaration file (page 260, vol. (1st), GR806) and a 1944 index card (vol. (3rd), GR804) in the District Court, Jefferson County — a state court, not the federal court the earlier notes assumed.

    Status
    open
    Next action
    Written request to the Colorado State Archives (Jefferson County District Court naturalizations) quoting the index references — page 260; volumes (1st) and (3rd); locations GR806 / GR804 — for the declaration of intention, petition, certificate of arrival and the admission date; the post-1929 declaration also states arrival port, vessel and date, the marriage date and place and each child's name and birth. Resolve conflict:primo-facchinello:naturalization-year from the file and promote the naturalization event to confirmed.

Conflicts touching these claims

  • The Colorado naturalization index lists a 1943 petition-and-declaration file and a 1944 index card for Primo Bernardo Facchinello in the District Court, Jefferson County; FamilySearch separately indexes June 4, 1941. These may be different filing, oath, or indexing stages. The accepted claim keeps the 1943–1944 range used by the DPL file references, while 1941, 1943 and 1944 remain unaccepted candidates until the originals are reconciled.

    Resolution
    open
    Alternate readings
    deferred — the competing reading is a claim whose review is deferred, so it is not published until it is reviewed; the published side keeps its own status.
