This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Witherhead Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/8428.1 Message Board Post: Naturalization papers are indexed at the county courthouse. Note that naturalization is voluntary so there may or may not be a record there but they are indexed which makes for a quick search. If a trip to the Canton, NY courthouse is not convenient and hiring a researcher is a possibilty you could contact the St. Lawrence count historical association for a recommendation. Wills and probate records are also indexed and sometimes help identify family relationships. Hope this helps - Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
