    It depends, as The Legal Genealogist says.
    What we can find and where we need to look will vary by time and place.
    If you can share some details - names and approximate dates - it will be easier to guide you in the search.

    In earlier years, almost any court could grant naturalization. That means the earlier records are scattered and not in a centralized set of records. The process changed in the early 20th century, making more recent records generally easier to find.

    @Nancy36496 FamilySearch's United States Emigration and Immigration Wiki page is a great place to start.
