Hi Jon, I have recently been through this same thing with my mother.... for Serbia. Some questions??? Is your grandfather alive? Does he, or did he, have a passport? If so, do you still have it? To obtain an official US Certificate of Naturalization, you need to request it from the government and it is rather pricey. Wither $300.00 or $600.00.... I don't remember which. And, it takes about 6 months. How I got around this is that, in order to receive a US Passport, you have to send them your naturalization paperwork. There is also a publication from the government that states the way to prove your USA citizenship is with a passport. I furnished Serbia with both items and, so far, Serbia has accepted my documents. What I did is.... Go to my bank and have the notary make a copy of the passport. They then notarize it with a statement that says that the copy is from an original document. Then you send this notarized copy to your state agency that presides over notaries, and they give you an apostile. The USA government has an apostile office in the Washington DC area for US government items. I have all the addresses and info at home... I'm at work now. Let me know if I can help.
