The papers also provide the date of arrival in the US. This makes it very easy to find them in the Philadelphia Passenger List Index. You might ask the appropriate people in Westmoreland if you can get copies of their naturalization papers. Copies of mine are on the Armstrong County GenWeb Family Folder page.
