Can anyone tell me where to go for copies of Naturalization papers around 1900. Maria Canton, Ohio paulmarian@ameritech.net

Depends on where they were naturalized. If in IL, then you can write the Great Lakes Regional Office of NARA. Go to: http://www.nara.gov and click on the link for the "Regional Offices" -- it will give you the address as well as the email address.
