3 people found this helpfulDear Mr. Klinke,
Thank you for posting your request to History Hub!
Based on the time frame when Stanislaus Samo entered the U.S., the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) likely would have created a record to track his interaction with their agency. Stanislaus would have been assigned an Alien Registration Number (A-Number) by INS. You may submit an Index Search request to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Genealogy Program to determine what Stanislaus' A-Number was and what kind of INS record(s) exist. Be sure to include all known name variants, date of birth, country of birth, etc. in your inquiry to insure a comprehensive result. Once their search is complete, you will have an opportunity to order copies of any records they identify.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Lambert Klinke Apr 10, 2019 3:49 AM (in response to Lambert Klinke)Dear Collegues,
I'am very thankfully for your kind help. With this I could clear the fate of Stanislavs Samo after a research work for more of 10 years!
Stanislavs Samo was naturalized to the US in 1955 and changed his name in STANLEY C. SAMS. He died in 1999.
My question to you: Can anybody with access to SSDI or better SSA Death Master File provide me the exact date of death, the place of death and perhaps the exact place of birth (my knowledge until now: Daugavpils parish, what can mean a lot).
Thank you very much for your efforts!
Lambert Klinke.
