So can I expect NOT to find The Certificate of Naturalization not just Online but also in a Court House? I am looking for a few different yrs around 1875 +/-
The ones I’m looking for are pre1860, back to late 1790s, if anything even exists for that time period. Not having much luck and the one or two I have found are virtually illegible and don’t contain much geni information
It isn’t easy to get a lot of info. I got one for 1878, knew he was mine by the info, but no more than a name. Found him by voter rolls. I tried for more paperwork but, nothing.
