Hello: My apologies, but I can't seem to find a recent (last few months) email from someone helpful that addressed the issue of the hand-written, later-inserted numbers on ships' manifests. This was a reference to the proof of arrival date, etc. for the declaration of intent, as I recall. What I am asking is: is this a reference number that would be sufficient to find the actual full naturalization record from the USCIS or NARA? For one ancestor, I already have a set of docs: ship's manifest and all three docs for naturalization, however, there are no two numbers or codes on any of the docs that are the same, so it makes me wonder. For the person's naturalization that I'm now looking for, the date of this naturalization is about 1945-46 during WWII, probably overseas. Has anyone researched US naturalization of an alien outside the US? Thanks, Patty

Patti, You mentioned all three papers for naturalization. I only know of the papers for intent and then the naturalization papers. Which is the third?
