When you have located your ancestor’s naturalization record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, you can use naturalization records to: | |||
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin | |||
*Confirm their date of arrival | |||
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names | |||
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests | |||
