I am attempting to obtain the naturalization papers for my grandmother who lived in Elizabeth from 1909 to her death in 1967. I obtained the index from the state archieves listing the petition number and book number but when I contacted the Union County Clerk I was advised that Union County does not have any naturalization papers and that I would have to go to the US archieves in New York City. This past week I went to the US archieves and was told that the records were state records, according to the index information. Does anyone have any suggestions. The naturalization was in 1944. Thanks
