For naturalization records after September 1906, use the [http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=d21f3711ca5ca110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=d21f3711ca5ca110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD Genealogy Program] at [http://www.uscis.gov www.uscis.gov].  At that time the federal government standardized the naturalization process courts and required to the courts to send a copy of papers they created to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) now the USCIS. Duplicate copies were often kept in the New Jersey court.
