COURT FAQ
Answer: 

Naturalization petition stubs (sorted by name of the petitioner) from 1907-1996 are on file at the National Archives in Ft. Worth, TX.  Thereafter, petitions are maintained by the U. S. Customs and Immigration Service.  The court in Shreveport maintains an order listing petitioners from 1996 to present.  An approximate date of naturalization must be known to conduct a search.
