Naturalization Records

Post by mcblondie » Tue Nov 07, 2006 10:53 am

Hi all,

Just wondering where i would obtain information re: Naturalization records? My g.father (Lithuanian) was always being checked on by the authorities since he entered Scotland back in 1910 (illegal alien) for many, many years. I am unsure as to whether he ever became a British Citizen, but if he did i would like to know how i'd go about getting information about this?

Thanks for any help and advice
Katie :)

Hi Katie

See http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/cata ... fletID=243 and work your way through the leaflet.

Alternatively go straight to the catalogue search page at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp and search on his name, - but note that John Smith as a search term must be written as John AND Smith (the caps for AND are deliberate).

The complication can be the spelling of his name.

Hi Davie,

Thanks for the URL's i hit on the site but couldn't find the page to do a name search?

I'm looking for dates between 1910-1945.

That second address above should have taken you there, - let's try again ...... http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/cata ... ch.asp?j=1 , - it's the ""Word or phrase" field in which you type in the name (remember the AND!).
