I was able to get a Naturalization Certificate for an ancestor in 1855. If they became citizens, the certificates are available. I got one at the Town Clerk's office, but I suspect they are available from the US Immigration service. Sam Wait --

I have the paperwork for my ggg-grandfather, as well. There were 3 documents: intent to become a naturalized citizen and a court declaration (both 1840), as well as the final agreement to support the Constitution in 1843. All of these were received from the Essex County Clerk, Court Street, Elizabethtown, New York 12932, (518) 873-6301 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Wait" <waitsc@rpi.edu> To: <NYESSEX-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 10:20 AM Subject: [NYE] Irish Immigrants > I was able to get a Naturalization Certificate for an ancestor in > 1855.
