As part of your ancestry research, you may desire, or possibly even require, official documentation from the United States government on your ancestors. Many times these documents may not have been indexed by a prior researcher or copied to microfiche, or they may be far more extensive than what is already available online or in other collections. Outside of ordinary ancestry research, if you are filing for 'Jure Sanguinis', Italian citizenship by descent, the Italian government will require official U.S. documentation as part of your legal filings, and you'll have to submit actual official documentation, not simply copies that you may find online through ancestry research sites, as part of the process for obtaining your dual citizenship and that Italian passport.
