The answer is yes. Most of the questions seemed to be according to the clerk/Judge sitting at the time. You may get more than you know and theis is nice to have information for your family history even if you do not get any more information. It enhances the paper trail of your family, and are considered prized papers. There are a couple of short cuts you can use, one is to look in FHC files for their film onUS pasports. Many of our ancestors did receive passports after they became citizens. If there is apassport, the INS has all the information regarding when/where of citizenship. Second you can search WWW. jewishgen.org. They have good information on the different courts you can write to in NY to look for citizenship papers. They have very helpful people who answer E-mail questions too. Definitely look for the papers. The cost is but $5.00 when you find which court in NY to write. You can also write to NARA. They are most helpful in making suggestions. Good Luck.
