    1. [POLAND] Naturalization Hints
    2. List: To save steps and utilize resources, two hints: 1) Check out http://www.footnote.com to see what they have digitized. 2) Check Ancestry and Ancestry's Passport Applications. Why? Well, sometimes grandma wanted to go back to the old country and still get back into US, so she applied for a passport (if she was a citizen). The naturalization is attached to the paperwork. ALSO, children born in US taken back to Poland wanted to return to US. They applied to the Embassy in Warsaw for a passport and the paperwork is here in US files. And don't say, that doesn't apply to my family, because you should ALWAYS take the few minutes to check. Grandma may surprise you! BTW, we always talk about US naturalizations, but remember Poles who entered Canada did apply to become Canadian citizens. Check Canadian Archives if you are in Canada. PolishDragon@att.net
