try emailing archivist on NARA, give them all info in family, location etc and maybe they can find naturalization---I found a naturalization card on ancestry I was not sure was my GF and when I emailed archivist they tracked down the right file for me to order from them..I got 20 pages for about $20--worth it....I don't remember how I found archivist link but it is on NARA somewhere. When u do get file #'s etc be read to copy and paste all info to the shop online link as it times out pretty fast.
