I just searched and searched my husband's family names until i pulled it up. If you don't have a membership, I could do some cursory searching for you to see if they have anything, if you'd like to give me the names. For my husband's great-grandfather, whose last name was Topolsky, I found 7 pages under the names Topolsky, Topolski, Trepolsky, Treepolski and Trepolski so it can take quite a while!

Laura, Do you need to be a member to use Footnotes? I have the actual certificate of naturalization, but, none of the paper work which would have a lot, I think, of information which I do not have. He lived in Allegheny County, Homestead to be exact. His name was Michael (Mike) Shupinka, which is on the document, however I have seen his name written Chupinka, Chupink, and Shupink, it was in Feb, 1924. You would think with all the information I sent to the Archives in Oct. that they would have been able to let me know, when I called them and gave them the information they told me with all I had it would be very easy to locate the papers and they would notify me within a week of getting my e-mail information...still waiting!. If it is not too difficult a task to check I would appreciate it, since I have been searching for this information for three years and my own mother just this document this past Oct, I guess you can say I am in no rush.
