(US-Bronx, Queens NYC) Naturalization Records from Bronx and Queens to Become Available Online
The (US) National Archives gave a three-year grant of $872,000 which will pay for the Bronx and Queens (New York City) County Clerks offices to upload naturalization record online starting in 2022. They will be freely accessible on line.
Naturalization records in the Bronx and Queens stretch from the late 1700′s through the 1950′s when clerks offices ceased processing naturalization documents. The responsibility shifted to the federal government. Thus far most of the requests in Queens are for records from the mid-1800′s through the early 1900′s.
