Anne: I just received my g-grandfather's papers from the Nat'l Archives in NYC. It's not easy because in the first half of the 20th Century essentially any court could grant citizenship. NYC is particularly tough because of the number of State and Federal courts. I my case I was dealing with the NY State Supreme Ct, US District Ct and the Dept of Labor, but patience pays off. Suggest you try the LDS for index of NYS and NYC, they are alphabetical. Once you have the petition and volume #'s you're on your way. The folks at the Archives in NYC were extremely helpful and provided a quick turn around (<10 days) once I had my stuff together. Vince Knapp
