Hi Everyone, I think I may have found a lead on a naturalization for my great grandfather. In one of the newspaper link that Virginia Dunham sent the other day, I found a blurb for a naturalization in 1893 for a Frederick Heine in Riverhead. Although one of the census records says he was naturalized in 1886, it is worth a shot (sin ce I haven't been able to find him). Can someone tell me how I might go about getting a naturalization record from Riverhead and how much might it cost? I suppose I would like to have the petition and the actual document for naturalization. If I went in person, would I be able to get it while I was there or would it be the same as if I did a mail request. A number of years ago I went to SUffolk Cty and they brought out the huge book with my grandfather's birth date written in it, and they gave me a copy of his bc on the spot. A few years ago, I tried to get one for his half-brother and I had to leave the form and they mailed it to me. Not to mention it was $10 more expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Liz

Hi Elizabeth, You can find the index here: http://www.theggg.org/Suffolk.stm You can find the form to request a copy here: http://www.theggg.org/Suffolk_Request_Form.pdf There will be no charge to get it if it is available.

Thanks Bobbi, I don't find the name on the ggg.org/Suffolk index. I did find it in a SUffolk Cty newspaper. I suppose I can request it based on the info in the paper.
