Go to the NARA web site: http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/ Find the regional facility nearest to where your father lived. Email or write to that NARA branch and ask them to look up your father in the index and if found make a copy of the certificate and send it to you. The main Archive in Washington, D.C. has most of the naturalization certificates on microfilm but they have few of the microfilmed indices.

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.

Janiece; My father applied for naturalization in 1937 and his records were found in the county courthouse. The petition for naturalization shows his last foreign residence, date of immigration and the name of the ship he came on. The actual cert. of natur. really doesn't give much information. This is in a small town in Kansas, so don't know how the larger cities handle it. Hope this helps.
