Re: Seeking death certificates for Francesco & Virginia Gauzza
Susannah Brooks Nov 3, 2020 11:40 AM (in response to Michael Gaussa)Because this is a Pennsylvania (not federal record) you will have to get a certified copy from the Pennsylvania Department of Vital records https://www.health.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx

Re: Seeking death certificates for Francesco & Virginia Gauzza
Michael Gaussa Nov 13, 2020 10:53 PM (in response to Susannah Brooks)Thank you Susannah. I bet you could help with my next question. My GGF naturalized in 1891. What was the immigration law in place at that time that automatically naturalized my GGM and GF with him? Would there have been any record with the District Court of Pittsburgh documenting this automatic naturalization for my GGM and GF?

Go down to the "exceptions" section for laws regarding women and children.
