I've got a US passport since my father is from the states, but I've got a friend who is also interested in becoming a pilot in the US, but doesn't have a green card or is a citizen.

Apparently, his great grandmother (father's mother's mother) was from Indiana. He wanted to know if his grandmother could get citizenship, then his father and eventually him. However, the only papers the grandmother has to provde is a bapismal certificate, not a birth cert! Would that be acceptable or this there a record that goes back that far to prove her mother was from the US?

Thanks, I know this is an unusual question, but I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated once I pass this info along!

Cheers,
