Guide To Naturalization Records of the United States
by Christina Schaefer

This book fills a gap in our knowledge of naturalization records and enables us, at last, to make practical use of this all-important genealogical resource. Comparable in many ways to census records, naturalization records are a gold mine of priceless information, including such items as place and date of birth; where they lived before emigrating to the U.S., and current places of residence; marital status; names, ages, and places of birth of other family members; occupation; port and date of entry into the U.S.; and more.

State by state, county-by-county, city-by-city, the book identifies all repositories of naturalization records, systematically indicating the types of records held, their dates of coverage, and the location of original and microfiche records. This guide also pinpoints the whereabouts of federal court records in all National Archives facilities.
