 Thank you for posting on History Hub! 
 Naturalization records dated prior to October 1991 from the federal courts are at the National Archives. To determine which NARA field site maintains federal court records for the state where your father was naturalized, please visit: https://www.archives.gov/research/court-records . You will need to work directly with staff in that office in order to obtain a copy of the requested record. Please note that depending on the date of naturalization, the records may exist outside of NARA&rsquo;s holdings. 
 Because of the additional information you provided, it appears that you wil need to contact the National Archives at Chicago, since records for federal courts in Ohio are housed at that facility. Staff can be contacted by email at chicago.archives@nara.gov . 
 Good luck with your research!
