Hello, I found naturalization index cards on Fold3 (and Ancestry) for Joseph Kreutzmann (NY Common Pleas Court, 12 June 1866) and Samuel Kritzmann (NY Common Pleas Court, 21 Apr 1882). My question is, is it worth going after the actual naturalization records? Will they have specific information about their date & place of birth, and date of immigration? And where would these records be held? Thanks, Claudia

Claudia, my experience has been that there is rarely specific location information, but as in almost any record, it never hurts to try. After looking at many records of one Providence Italian family, I found the specific town of birth on her death record. Most other places of birth for Italians was just given as "Italy." Here are the declaration of intentions for New York County court of common pleas on microfilm: https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/show?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcatalog-search-api%3A8080%2Fwww-catalogapi-webservice%2Fitem%2F233670 There may be another set of records for the oaths of allegiance.
