Mr. Wright, This was a very interesting and informative article. I am interested to learn how one would acquire naturalization records from Will County? Is is possible to write to them and order copies? I am asking on behalf of a client who is trying to trace a great-grandfather (Mathias Lux with a multitude of various spellings for both names) and we know that he lived in Will County per the 1880 US Census and his marriage records. Other documents suggest that he arrived in the US circa 1872 and was naturalized circa 1884, while living in Will County. Any directions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
