The Nassau County Naturalization Project
The Italian Genealogical Group is proud to give something back to the online genealogical world...
The complete index to ALL of the Naturalization Records of Nassau County, NY!
(We have provided a printable form to request Naturalization Records from Nassau County)
The Italian Genealogical Group, along with members German Genealogy Group, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island and the Irish History Forum, has recently completed this huge project of computerizing all of the Naturalization Records that are held in Nassau County, New York.
These naturalization records are of extreme importance not only to genealogical researchers but also to others trying to find either historical or personal information. The Nassau County Clerk's office is the custodian of the records and since they are now computerized can easily answer requests to their office for naturalization information.
The complete database has over 65,000 names, in 279 volumes, from as early as 1899 up to 1986 when the Federal government assumed control of the naturalization process.
Among these records are names of military personnel who petitioned the government for citizenship while at Camp Mills and Aviation Field #2, both U.S. Army bases. They were situated in the area that is now Mineola/Garden City, Long Island. There were thousands of men trained there during 1917 to 1918 and while the majority of the men were from the New York metropolitan area, there were also many from as far away as the states of California and Washington.
This database has importance not only to New Yorkers but also to many from all over the United States. Particularly for soldiers who were processed for discharge at the end of World War I in November 1918. These men were very often not from the New York area. It is suggested that if you can't find a relative, who became a citizen during the World War I period, no matter where they lived originally, check the Camp Mills and Aviation Field #2 naturalization records.
A sincere thank you goes to all those people listed below who took time out of their busy lives to make this project a success by giving of their time and talent. Whether it was to make the drive to Mineola and fight for a parking space to help with photocopying the records or proofreading the final draft or those who steadfastly entered the information on their computers at home, page after page, all became a vital part of accomplishing this project. Some of them didn't even have an interest in genealogy but realized the importance of the task.
Special credit and thanks goes to Don Eckerle, who with his computer savvy, made this project practicable. With his expertise, we are able to fix our mistakes, and convert the various computer programs that our volunteers used into a single database and a highly useful research tool.

WEBMASTER'S NOTE:
Extra Special Credit must go to, not only the author of this introduction, but more importantly the one person that spearheaded this entire project...John Martino. John has been wanting to complete this project for a long time and it is only through his dedication that the entire world can now access these important records.
