Google for the NARA and find the one that is responsible for that area of Tennessee.Then contact them...e-mail works...and tell them what naturalization papers you are looking for. Ask for copies of the Petition of Naturalization and see what they find.
If they find it, the will contact you and tell you the price for the document.Have had great luck with the NARA in the past.
If this natualizationwas done in years close to arrival, the children and wife may have been included on the final document...they were naturalized at the same time.So get acopy of the actual Naturaizationpaper as well.
If they were natualized in a court in Shelby, Tennessee, check the Family History library for indexes of naturalizations and the actual papers...they might be on microfilm.Go to www.familysearch.org to check the library holdings.You are doing to have to dig and be very creative to find out what you need.
Good Luck
