John Do you have a website for the (US) Natioanl Archives that people could use for this service? Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Boyd" <johnhboyd@earthlink.net> To: <Boyd@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 7:48 AM Subject: [BOYD] FW: National Archives for Naturalization A recent message asked about making a trip to the National Archives to get information about Naturalization. Such trips, like most research, used to be necessary. That trip is no longer necessary. You can download a request form from their web site, and send in an initial request. NA will respond and tell you what specific records they have about that individual, and what the cost will be to get copies of the entire file. Your time = 30 minutes. Much quicker and cheaper than driving 100 miles each way, and frantically trying to find the information and then try to get it copied before their doors close for the day. ______________________________________ House of Boyd Society's (HBS) Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Gathering of the Clan 2012 will be held in Woodland,CA, USA in conjunction with the Sacramento Caledonian Club's 136th annual Sacramento Valley Scottish Games & Festival in April 2012 (unofficial date April 28th and 29th -- to be confirmed by the venue).
