Has anyone been able to locate their ancestors 1st papers? I was told I would have to contact the town my grandfather was born in unless he was in the military,at which he may have applied to come to the USA thru the military.My grandfathers' manifest states his residence was Schinkell..I can't find that place anywhere.Can anyone shed some light on this please.

I forgot to tell you that Ancestry.com used to have some of the naturalization records for military personnell, who applied after entering the service.
