Naturalization Records
by John Apel
Sat Dec 01 1990
-------------------------------
I received the following from the Chicago Genealogical Society and
thought it might be helpful to all.
The LDS Family History Library recently acquired 1,750 rolls of
microfilmed federa court naturalization records for the use of
researchers. The records apply to the courts which were in the states
covered by the National Archive branches in CA, IL, NJ, PA, and WA.
The case files generally date from 1906-1941, with some indexes
available through 1957.
For each immigrant these files would include a certificate of
Petition for citizenship. In these you will find original and
Americanized names, exact birth dates and birth places for the
applicant and his family, last foreigh residence, date, palce and
means of arrival, and a physical description and phtograph (after
1929).
