I have been unable to find a record of my greatgrandfather naturalizing at the record center here in chicago. They have all the court records there from a WPA project so this includes the county coutry, and federal court. They only lived in Chicago, so there are no other jurisdictions involved.
If I get a no record from USCIS will the councilate ask for a search of the census. For some reason the census says they were naturalized, hhhmmm I talked about this before, but it appears they didn't, will I have a problem with this?
census v. NO RECORD FOUND
Re: census v. NO RECORD FOUND
Census information is not 100% guaranteed to be accurate, nor is it proof positive that someone naturalized or did not naturalize.
The document from USCIS will suffice.

Corrado,
Check with the consulate if they require from USCIS a "no record" letter or a "non existence of naturalization" letter.
The consulate I'm going through will only accept a "non existence of Naturalization" letter.
In any case, these docs should be sufficient. Don't bother with the census stuff.

My grandfather and all 3 of his male cousins received their citizenship by enlisting in the army for 6 months. The army fast tracked them through naturalization. I have my grandfather's naturalization papers (who is also from Chicago) - from Georgia near Camp Gordan where he was stationed. Many of them did this during WWI.
