Where to go in San Bruno and Oakland to get naturalization records? At San Bruno NARA office, you can get copies of the actual citizenship papers. I've done this successfuly by phone and had the document mailed http://www.archives.gov/pacific/archives/san-francisco/genealogy.html This is the web page with instuctions. I had a date to look for , so it was easy. You can go in person and research also. In Oakland, the main public Library has a History Room with city and county records that can be researched. http://www.oaklandlibrary.org/Seasonal/Sections/oakhr.html There is also this LDS film availble: Copies 1, On shelf Call Film 1433128 & others as listed Author Alameda County (California).
