I am looking for someone who will look up a death record at the Queens County Courthouse. Anthony Krauciunas died in 1939 in Queens. Ultimately, I would like a copy of the probate papers, but I will settle for the packet number. I also need the information on Agnes Krauciunas who died in 1971. If someone can help, I will gladly compensate you for your time and expenses. If anyone has any other information on these two, I would love to know. Anthony and Agnes were both born in 1894/1895. Agnes was originally Agatha Pilius. Both are from Lithuania. They had children Anna and Vincent. Thanks for any help in this regard.

Just because this is for "Queens" doesn't mean it has anything to do with royalty or castles. (There is a community called Castle Hill in the Bronx, but I don't suggest you post your message(s) there) There is nothing in your message to indicate a connection between your target people and the geographical borough of Queens, NY. Post on the Foster/Forster message boards if you want to reach your intended audience or boards dealing with your European sites. Good Luck, Joel Weintraub

I grew up in Cypress Hills and now I'm retired and live in North Carolina. So I have to get the biggest bang for my buck whenever I come up and search the Municipal Archives. Doing my homework like this helps me to do that; and of course I couldn't do that without the help of folks like yourself. Thanks Mark

Dear Stacy, I believe you are talking about the New York State birth, marriage and Death indexes which are at NARA in Manhattan and NY State Archives in Albany. Please remember that NYC was only Manhattan and a part of the Bronx up to l898. So before l898 the other boros would be listed under The New York State vital records indexes Hope this is helpful to all. Diane Jacobs New York Message Board Post: Mark, My family is from Woodhaven/Ozone Park area. At the Municipal Archives there is a micro film of the town ledger . However, I have never found any of the certificate I needed there. On a visit to the National Archives in NYC I found microfic with birth certificate numbers for Woodhaven. Once I located my family (the list is by year, then surname) I had to send to Albany for the certificates. This is a long process - 6 months to a year. But I believe you will be able to locate the certificate numbers at the National Archives. Stacey ============================== Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WUB.2ACI/1252.1 Message Board Post: No the wife and child automately began citizens when the father was naturalizated. See the follow information copied from New York Immigration. Naturalization under Federal Law (1790-present) Since 1790 all naturalizations have been performed pursuant to federal law, under a provision of the U.S. Constitution (Art. I, Sect. 8). Until 1906 any state or federal court of record (a court having a seal and a clerk) could naturalize aliens. (In New York the courts of record included the Supreme Court and the county- and some city-level courts, but not the lower- level city, town, or village justices' courts.) An alien intending to be naturalized first files a declaration of intention to become a citizen (the declaration has been voluntary since 1952). After residing in the United States for five years, the alien may petition a court to be naturalized. (Many aliens who filed declarations never petitioned for naturalization.) The court holds a hearing on the petition and takes testimony from witnesses to determine whether the alien meets residence and character requirements. If the petition is accepted, the alien takes the oath of allegiance and the court records the fin! al naturalization order or certificate. Before 1906 the final order was normally recorded in the court's minute or order book, and the court usually issued the new citizen a certificate of naturalization. Significant changes in the naturalization law were enacted in 1906. Naturalization jurisdiction was restricted to federal and state courts having unlimited civil jurisdiction. (In New York the sole court meeting this definition is the Supreme Court.) Under the 1906 act the U.S. Bureau of Immigration & Naturalization, later the Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS), examined petitions for naturalization and provided standard forms to courts performing naturalizations. (The forms contain much more personal information than do the non- standardized forms in use before 1906.) After 1929 naturalization forms (declarations, petitions, and certificates) were distributed only to certain courts. In recent decades the U.S. District Courts have handled most naturalization proceedings. Between 1855 and 1922 an alien woman became a citizen automatically if she married a native- born or naturalized citizen. After 1922 a married woman alien had to obtain naturalization on her own. Non-native minor children become citizens when their parents are naturalized. (All children born in the U.S. are citizens, even if their parents are aliens.) Former black slaves were made citizens by the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1868. American Indians were made citizens by federal statutes passed in 1887 and 1924. By a series of statutes and agreements in force from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, aliens from China, Japan, and other East and South Asian countries were barred from becoming citizens. Expedited naturalization proceedings have been available to aliens who are Army veterans, since 1862; Navy veterans, since 1894; and wartime enlistees, since 1918.
