=== Post-1906 Records === | |||
In 1906 the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) was created, forms were standardized, and duplicate copies of naturalization records were sent to the INS. You can access these records by downloading a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) form from [http://www.uscis.gov www.uscis.gov], filling it out and sending it to the address listed on the form. You may also contact the National Archives—Central Plains Region (Kansas City) for naturalization records. | |||
