Robin,

Check the National Archives' genealogy site at

http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/genindex.html

They have instructions on ordering naturalization papers from the
regional archives where the naturalization took place. But be sure to
request the application (which is on a soundex index), which often
contains more useful information than the actual naturalization papers.

Good luck,

Bill Naughton
