I don't have an answer for your query. However, I do notice on my list of Gordons on the Wall of Honor at Ellis Island that there are 21 Gordons from Ireland--Panel 169 is John Gordon. There are 40 from Scotland. Ann Robert Gordon wrote: > Ihave found my great grandfathers citizenship papers. His name was john Gordon and he became an American Citizen in 1876 > He Applied for citizenship in 1866. The papers say he was granted citizenship in the county of New York in the state of newyork > which would be nyc. My question is where would I get the original application and court documents regarding his citizenship. Who would I contact. Also I read on roots web that there is a book out there regarding the Gordons in Ireland . If anyone has that info I would appreciate help Locating that book. Sincerely Yours , > Robert Gordon
