How do you guys get the naturalization papers/records?

Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

You have to determine what court performed the naturalization. Then find out where they store or archive their records for that date. Find out the procedure to get access to the records.

The regional NARA branches are depositories for some records.

There are many books written on this subject and the question can not be fairly ansewered in this short space.

Here is one book on the subject:

Guide to Naturalization Records of the United States (Hardcover)
by Christina K. Schaefer

Check your library or search on amazon.com for others.
