Elaine. I'll provide what info I can, although I do not pretend to be an expert in the field. Others may have some other ideas. Chances are that your great-grandfather never filed for naturalization. Prior to 1922, wives and minor children automatically became citizens when their husband/father did. After 1922, the wife had to file her own application. So your search should be for your great-great-grandfather's naturalization papers. Naturalization, until 1941, was a two-step process. The immigrant filed a declaration of intent to become a citizen. Then, usually five years later, he was eligible file his petition for naturalization. The declaration was often filed at the port of entry, although immigrants could wait until they were settled at their ultimate destination. Of course, immigrants were not required to apply for citizenship, and many never did. Since you do not know the port of entry or year of immigration, I would recommend that you begin with the 1880 IL census, where your great-grandfather should be enumerated as being about 11 years old. (If you do not know the name of your great-great-grandparents, this is also a good way to begin searching for their identity, as they will probably be listed as the parents of your great-grandfather. Once you locate where the family was living, you will have a better idea of where to search for naturalization papers. There is no centralized location for these records. At the time your great-great-grandfather would have been most likely to have applied for citizenship, any federal, state or county court of record had the authority to process naturalization papers. Immigrants usually chose the court most convenient to them; i.e., the court in their town or county seat, so I would begin there. Chances are unlikely that your great-great-grandfather petitioned for citizenship prior to 1880, if he came to the U.S. in or around 1875. You can narrow down the time of his naturalization if you can find your family on the 1900 census, because that census form, in columns 16, 17 and 18, respectively, asked year of immigration, number of years in the U.S. and whether the person enumerated was a naturalized citizen (although some census takers must have used old forms or something, because I have found a lot of census pages that varied from the form prescribed.) Even if the census examination does not lead you to any naturalization papers, you will not be wasting your time, because you will learn a lot about your great-grandfather and his parents, and you will learn some facts about his grandparents. Good luck.

Thanks for the information on Illinois marriages. This has been a great help!!!!! THanks again for all the work Judy Hampton Hodson

Greetings Listers. I have discovered my GGF was born in England in 1869. He and his parents settled in Mattoon, IL. My mother tells me he was 6 years old when he came to America. I have his marriage certificate, but not death certificate. (CHANEY, Robert) My question is: Where and for what year do I look for naturalization records? I don't know how they came here, or what year they arrived. I don't know if they stayed somewhere else, or came directly to Illinois. Also, the only location I have is England, and have no hope of narrowing that location. Also, if you think another record would help more--please tell me. TIA Elaine

Herb and everyone, currently we don't HAVE a site up like this, but there's no reason why we couldn't start one. I always think that the general rule for us is, you think it up, you do it! :> No, seriously, I don't want to push this off on Herb. Is anyone interested in helping with this???

>Is there a site for posting "unidentified photos" of Wlliamson County >Ancestors in the hopes of learning who the people in the photo are? ------------------------ If anyone discovers or makes one, please advise here a couple times, so I'll finally get it. If you can post photos, others can do more than ID them: They can right-click and HAVE them. For instance, suppose my Mom has a really nice photo of one of her girlfriends half a century ago. That old girl's grandkids (that's us) would probably like to have it, even if there is only one copy on earth. Well, no prob. I just post it electronically, and then they all can have all the copies they want. Then, maybe somebody else would post scenes from Johnston City in the early '50s, which I don't have. Something like this might be accomplished with a "binaries" newsgroup. That's one where you post pictures separately, because they're large files, and not everybody wants that mailed to them. But some will go look. Bruce Wms

Is there a site for posting "unidentified photos" of Wlliamson County Ancestors in the hopes of learning who the people in the photo are?

Tonia, Interestingly enough, my married name is Serfati. I know it was originally Serfaty, but was changed during the German occupation of France so that it would appear Italian. (as my husband's family was Jewish) It is a french name, but I don't think it's actually considered a French Jewish name, just French. Being that Serati and Serfati are so close, perhaps you might consider looking into the French community. Jenn

Hello, If anyone is researching this family name please help me fill in some of the blank spots ? 1. Steven John Serati b: unk + Sharon Watson b: Aft 1945 ***** 2. Steven Eric Serati + Kelly Jean Triplett 2. Scott Alan Serati Sharon' other husband was***** + Michael Womack Thank you, Tonia
