These records are located in the Kings County Clerk's Office. This project is being done in partnership with the Italian Genealogy Group and the German Genealogy Group. Phase I of this ongoing project is complete and may be accessed and searched. The database already contains more than 65,000 names are already available in this database. The Jewish Genealogical Society does caution everyone that the online database is brand-new and they are still tuning it a bit. If everyone logs on at the same time the system may become slow or cease to function entirely. If you have problems accessing the site, they recommend that you log off and try again a few hours later. The Brooklyn Naturalization Index On-line database is available through the JGS (NY) homepage located at http://www.jgsny.org My thanks to Estelle Guzik, President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of New York for letting me know about this great online resource.
