Naturalization papers

Saundra

I am trying to locate the naturalization papers for my father Myron Moise  Kahn. He was naturalized in state district, US court of Brooklyn New York, on August 7, 1928.  He was from Romania and had a job on the Santa Maria ship 1929 and 1933. Can you find this for me

    In addition to the excellent information the History Hub community has already provided, I’d like to share more information on Myron Moise Kahn's Petition for Naturalization.

    It appears that Myron Moise Kahn filed a petition for naturalization at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York in 1928 (petition number 96891). A name change or name variation can often appear on naturalization records though not always. These records were housed the the National Archives at New York.

    However, the National Archives and Records Administration has announced the upcoming closure of the National Archives at New York City. The records currently stored in New York are now closed to researchers in order to prepare them to move to either Kansas City or Philadelphia. A list of which records are moving to which location may be found on the web page Records Move of the National Archives at New York City. It is anticipated that the records will reopen for research requests on December 1, 2024. This date is an estimate. If there is a significant change to this schedule, we will post it on this page and on https://www.archives.gov/kansas-city and https://www.archives.gov/philadelphia. Once the records are reopened for research requests, you are welcome to submit an order for a copy at NARA's online ordering system.

    Birth, marriage, and death records are considered state or local records rather than Federal or national.  As he was born in Romania you are correct to go to the government repository there.

    If he was married in the United States, I recommend contacting the State Bureau of Vital Statistics or the County Historical Society or Courthouse where he lived at the time. 

    We invite you to continue the conversation with community members on History Hub, but should you have follow up questions for the staff at the National Archives at Philadelphia please email us at philadelphia.archvies@nara.gov so that we can assist you further. 

    We hope this helps with your research!

    Hi   

    The naturalization records that you need will be moved to the National Archives at Philadelphia. You will be able to order reproductions by using Order Online after December 1. Please be sure to look here for any updates to the reopening schedule. When ordering, please use his name, petition number (96891), and the name of the court (Eastern District of New York).
