Australian Naturalisation Certificates
When an immigrant applied for naturalisation they were presented with a Naturalisation Certificate. The National Archives of Australia (NAA) has scanned an entire series of copies of these certificates.
This database has a list of names, the names used in the naturalisation application, the date of the naturalisation and the NAA document number of the Kytherians that have been found to date.
Search this database to find the relevant person. It is in alphabetical order by surname with Greek spelling, so scrolling might be a good option, but if you want to filter the database the instructions are below. To view the original document go to the NAA website (click here). Go to Record Search then click Advanced Search on the top bar. On the Graph now shown click the Items option at the bottom. To search for the document, enter A714 in the Series box. Enter the last number (the one including the / symbol) into the control symbol box and then the search box. The results shown will have the option to view the digital copy in the top right hand corner of the large blue stripe and then the original document will open.
