Hooray! I just received copies of both my great grandfathers naturalization papers. Both Theodore Miottel and Wilhelm Skibbe were both naturalized through the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. I now have the copies in hand and will make copies for my relatives - what a great Christmas present.

It was just a fluke to find them in Chicago!
