But, do you know what church he attended in the US? I have found that church records sometimes include birthplaces, either in memberships lists, or death (burial) records.

My dad came to the US around 1928. He was born in 1911 and immigrated when he was about 17. I'm not sure when he became a citizen, but he was working for the Defense Department in the 40's, on the Manhattan Project, and I'm pretty sure he was a citizen by then. How can I get his naturalization records? They might give me more information on where he was living prior to coming to the US. Or are there other records I should be looking for? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

The National Archives would have a copy of the naturalization petition, But you need to know where he may have naturalized. Diane Jacobs New York My dad came to the US around 1928.
