You could also try looking in border crossing records between Canada and the U.S. to find trace of them.

This email may not address your real question, but I hope it turns out to be useful. An alien who comes to the US could sign a Declaration of Intent and later be granted a Naturalization at any county seat. Most often these would happen in the county in which the person lived, but not necessarily. A person who lived at the edge of a county might be closer to the adjoining county's seat. Or, they might be visiting a relative in a different part of the state and sign the papers while they were there. Records of these events were kept locally. I suggest that you start at the Franklin County Clerk's Office. Those two documents should be helpful to you. Cliff Clare Higgins wrote: >Hi, everybody.
