There are numerous ways of trying to obtain copies of these papers. I would assume he was naturalized in the North East region. The state is divided by region and court. I can't remember the names of the 2 courts where he may have made his request. Depending on which of the 2 courts he submitted his papers and which region of the state will determine where the papers are archived and where you can request them and/or search for them. You can go to the LDS web page and do a search for Lake County records. They have some of the naturalization records filmed. This includes the original request papers. His particular papers may or may not have been recorded. (if you search the LDS you can go to my web page and I have set up a page explaining how to do a "place" search on the LDS page.) You will want to search Lake County, Waukegan or Illinois, looking for naturalization records. I believe Northwestern University is the archives for the Northeast Region which would include Chicago, Waukegan, etc. They do have a web page listed under the State of Illinois web page. You can write a letter to the National Archives-Great Lakes Region, 7358 South Pulaski Road, Chicago, Ill 60629 and they will file a freedom of information search for you. Include as much detailed information and in your case, include a copy of the paper you have. Ask them what kinds of papers are available. Enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. The other source I am aware of is at http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/aboutins/foia/index.htm. Let me know if this helps and contact me at [email protected] if you need any more help. I have more web addresses.
