Francesco..there is a lot more to be found before we can say if he was naturalized or not. I would just like to go through the whole thing..seems he made several trips according to the manifests.

By 1938, he had legally changed his name for Casimiro to Louis or Luigi since he again travels to the US under his new name with his wife..
By then, they were already living in Gerace Marina. Raffaella also made a trip alone in 1948 from Italy to the US...her real name is Maria Raffaella.

I'll post the other passenger lists for you soon.

Here is the 1920 census..notice the children all born in the USA? He had already filed his first papers for naturalization as per the census. Claims his year of immigration is 1913..maybe another trip.

I had to add this..

Casimiro went to the US to visit his uncle in 1903 and they ended up living next door to them in NJ. The uncle's name was Alfonso..

Heres his draft info too..I thought is was interesting.
