I'm new to this particular list, and as my subject heading reveals I'm on a quest to locate my grandfather's naturalization documents. William Metsa came from Finland in 1905, and was naturalized in 1912, according to entries in the 1902 Census. I am only aware of my grandfather's residence in Houghton Co., but my earliest documentary evidence of that is his 1909 marriage license. Between 1905 and 1909 his whereabouts are not know with any certainty to me. After having checked with Houghton's county clerk with no success, then afterwards with the INS with the same result, it's been suggested that perhaps my grandfather did his filing with the Federal District Court in Marquette. Has anyone checked for naturalization records in that court, and if so, can someone give me an idea of the cost for copies and the process for requesting a search? I am assuming that any such records which might be held at the Federal Court would be entirely separate from naturalization files generated within Marquette County's own court. Would that be a correct assumption? Tom Osborn Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
