Comment on Shocking And Disappointing News Item!!; Popular Genealogy TV Show “Who Do You Think You Are?” On NBC Will Be Cancelled And Will Not Have New Episodes For 2013 by Sandy

It figures that if it is not a show with nonsense it is canned. I wish that the genealogy community has a tv channel all their own, that would give us a chance to find our relatives and learn about the history of those we never knew. I love comedies, but this show was so interesting and I really looked forward to watching it. I am very disappointed too in the network. Do they think that everyone at home on a Friday night is wanting to watch frivilous tv? Actually the young people are out and their parents and grandparents are the ones at home.

Hi Celeste,

I think you can still save yourself a trip to the Archives on Pulaski regarding seeking post-1906 naturalization records. You can do all of that online within the links I provided in the post about USCIS. I just want to save you a trip. Seeing the Archives on Pulaski in Chicago may still be a good visit but I don’t think you have to to get post-1906 Naturalization information there. Follow the information to submit a request through the USCIS site.

I am glad you liked the post. Post-1906 naturalization requests have been somewhat of a mystery for me because all of my ancestors were in the 1880-1895 time period when the court system did the citizenship process.

Thanks for the comment.

This is great information. I was advised by an experienced genealogist that the documentation for naturalization has very useful information and that I was fortunate that one of my 4 immigrant grandparents went through the process. I’ve been feeling ambivalent about a trip to the Archives on Pulaski but now feel energized and confident about pursuing this stuff. Thanks, as always, for sharing your knowledge. –
