Naturalization: Beginning of Your U.S. Family Heritage

Presented by Steve Szabados

Find your roots. Find the naturalization papers of your ancestors and see the beginning of your America History. This program starts with the history of the naturalization process and a review of the requirements and then discusses where your ancestors were naturalized, which is the key to finding their documents. Traditional and online sources are reviewed. This is a great program to find clues to your heritage.
