This may be info that you already have, but here goes: All naturalization actions are not titled the same but they are most often referred to by one or more of these names; Alien's Certificates; Citizenship Papers; Naturalization Proceedings; First and Second Papers.
Naturalization actions may be found in County Courts and also in the United States District Courts.
Most of the records give the name of the petitioner, the name of the native country, the title of the ruler of the native country, and the petitioner's age. It also contains the petitioner's signature.
These records have changed over the years and can be very difficult to find.
Arrival/ Ships lists: Write for request forms to: Ship Passenger Arrival Records, General Reference Branch, National Archives and Records Administration, 7th and Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20408
Don't know if this will help. Good Luck Donavene of Kansas
