Hi Frank You can use census records to help you find immigration and naturalization years for an ancestor. The 1900, 1910 ,1920 and 1930 census identify citizenship status, with notations showing the individual was an Alien, or had started the Naturalization process or had his final papers. The year of immigration is also shown. 1920 also nicely provides a year of naturalization. You can read more about census records in your search for an immigrant ancestor at http://allcensusrecords.com/ For a Resource Guide to Naturalization records, where to find them, and alternate sources of finding those important years (immigration and naturalization) see http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/ Read the intro then choose your state of interest. There are also many links to searchable online naturalization records at NaturalizationRecords.com website. The next step is finding that ships list. Once you know your ancestor's state of entry, you can search microfilms. Most states are indexed, so this will make your job slightly easier. You can order films in to a nearby Family History Centre, or have NARA do the job (once you have precise details) You can get a list of film numbers (NARA & FHC) at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nara_indexbyport.shtml Scroll down to the state you want and click on the link, then find the film # you need The staff of the National Archives will undertake a search of the original records for a fee or you can order in to an FHC To search online, try Steve Morse's one step search engines at http://www.stevemorse.org/ Also try http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_ships.shtml This site has several search engines, one for each state where ships arrived.
