    1. Re: [PABLAIR-L] Naturalization Papers, 2 part question
    2. To get naturalization papers, marriage application copies, divorce records and orphan court records; write to: Blair County Courthouse Prothonotary Office Allegheny Street Hollidaysburg, PA 16648 Enclose a SASE, and copies are . 50 cents each. A marriage application is usually one page, naturalization records can run two to three pages, (these sometimes have photo's, which are never flattering, but interesting) divorce records usually two pages orphan court records are varied, so to be safe, you should send a few dollars. Write genealogy in the corner of the envelope, and expect a reply time of 4 to 5 weeks. For wills, and deeds, same address, but this time you are writing to the Recorder of Deeds and Wills Office, same prices apply, but the deeds and wills can run many pages, so you will need to adjust the amount you send. Also, remember that Blair was not formed until 1846, and marriages and divorce records were not kept until 188? something, I forget right now, the earlier deeds, orphan court records, wills, and naturalizations are there though.
