Genealogical Breakthrough!
I have been trying to obtain the naturalization records of my great-grandfather for the past seven years. Unfortunately, the courthouse containing the naturalization records would not honor requests of a genealogical nature.
This morning I just received word that this court house has changed its policy and is now excepting requests. On my lunch break, I spoke with a professional genealogist who had access to the Petition Books for Naturalization. Within a matter of minutes she was able to find my great-grandfather.
Excitedly, I just finished writing a letter to the county courthouse to obtain these records and dropped the letter in the mailbox.
Now all I have to do is wait....

Thanks :)
Thats really amazing... where was this picture taken?
Frum Girl: The picture on this posting is a satellite picture that I found using the Google map feature.
Good luck. I did a search on Ellis Island's site for "Skier" and found quite a few (all Jewish), but none that were familiar.
PT: If you ever have any question on genealogical reseach let me know. Here is a good place to start
I have not received the records yet, however on Friday the courthouse called and said they were processing my request. A picture of my great-grandfather's house can be seen here
