Bartolomew McIntyre Passport Request, 1920

On October 21, 1920, Bartolomew McIntyre received a passport from the U. S. Government which allowed him to travel from San Francisco, California to San Salvador to visit his son Bartolo and daughter Elena Morales who both resided there.  He also stated he was requesting the passport with the intent of "temporary residence."  From the documentation, it appears that his daughter, Mercedes, might be accompanying him on the trip.  His plan, at the time of requesting the passport, was to travel on the SS Senator leaving on November 30, 1920.  No documents yet have been located to show he returned to the US and he died in San Salvador on November 7, 1924.

Of note is the statement about his father, Patrick McIntyre, having citizenship. On the right edge of the first page is a reference to that citizenship.  It reads: "Father's Certificate of Citizenship seen, #6479,"  In the text it states his Father "was naturalized before the District Court of the Judicial District in and for the City of and the County of San Francisco, Calif. on August 19, 1869."  Unfortunately, Sal Bigone tells of trying to locate Patrick McIntyre's naturalization papers to be told they were most likely destroyed in the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

Note: The date at the top of the document is recorded as 1921, but all the rest of the documents are dated 1920 and the passport request was filed with 1920 documents.
