Tips & Tricks
It's very important to check maps. Boundaries change over time. Be sure the area where you think your ancestors resided is actually the area where they were.

Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen. It is a two step process and takes about five years. The Declaration of Intent or 1st papers can be filed after two years of residency. Naturalization and the Oath of Allegiance are taken after an additional three years of residency.

Immigration is entering a country where you are not a native to take up permanent residence. Emigration is leaving a country where you have been a citizen.
