Did you find your people on the census? Some census indicate whether the person was naturalized. Scroll down to the sections on immigration and naturalization: http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1850-1930.html For the records: Watervliet is Albany County, and Albany Co. Hall of Records has a database index on line for those records. http://www.albanycounty.com/departments/achor/naturalizationindexes.asp?id=856 Troy would be the County Clerk's office Records Room on Third St., some info here http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyrenss2/naturalization/#nat%20records Hudson would be the County Clerk's office at 560 Warren St. 518-828-3339.
