My dad was born in 1907 and lived in the US (NEW York) from 1929-39 approx. when he returned to Ireland. He became a US citizen in 1935. He married an Irish citizen in 1952 and I was born in 1959 and live in Ireland. Both my parents are now dead. I understand that I may be entitled to US citizenship. I plan to apply for a US passport using form DS-11 and as part of the process visit the embassy. I need evidence of my fathers physical evidence in the US for the 10 year period. I have the following: certificate of citizenship, social security number, Irish passport showing US visa from 1929 and a US passport issued in Dublin in 1941 which replaced a previous one issued in Washington DC in 1939. Can anyone advise on the physical evidence that would be acceptable in this case, how and where I can obtain same please? All advice and observations appreciated.

You will have to look into whatever else left behind after his death. Old letters? Bank accounts in USA? Evidence of tax filings. Memberships of organizations? ID cards from employers, etc. Travel documentation. If none of these is available, reach out to people in American he may have known and meet with them to find his last address and employment. You maybe able to go the local office and maybe find copies of property taxes he may have paid. It will be a lot of running around but you can do it. You may also request a copy of his immigration file from what is now called USCIS and that file will have a copy of every single document ever submitted to them all the way to first entering the US and then becoming a citizen.
