    3. Yes, Scranton does have it's own naturalization records at the Lackawanna County courthouse. However for the period from 1906 to 1912 the naturalization was done by the Federal Court system. For those years you have to go to the federal courthouse across the street from the Lackawanna County courthouse in Scranton. Likewise the naturalization records for Luzerne County are also located at the federal courthouse as well as many other counties. The feds have only the films of the index or the naturalization records. They don't have copies of the actual records and thus you must write to the archive center in Philadelphia to get the actual naturalization record. The have that info at the courthouse to tell you where to write. John Hudick
