Annette, Naturaliztions records are usually stored in the county court house where it occurred. The 1850 mortality records told me that my gr gr grandfather had died in Dearborn County, Indiana. So I checked their naturalization records for him. Lots of these records have been filmed by the LDS and you can order the microfilm once you know the county. The US census records will tell you if your ancestor became a citizen and will also tell you the year. Once you know that year, you need to review the county records. For example, the census told me that my husband 's great grandfather became a citizen in 1896. He was living in New York at the time. Just recently, I was able to get a copy of one of his son's passport application and found that they were living in Staten Island. So now I know which county to contact for his naturalization records. Hope i answered your question.
