20 Reasons to Declare Your Intent and Research Naturalization Records!

3/22/2018

2 Comments

​Do you research naturalization records? No? Why not? Does the thought of going through paper files in dusty court basements turn you off?  Well - I'm here to tell you that it is worth it - and with recent digitization efforts - more and more original documents have been scanned and been made available via microfilm or even online. 

Some of the larger subscription sites have made some source documents available - as well as index cards that can lead you to the court who handled the proceedings.

Whatever! It is worth the effort - no matter what. The amount of information on naturalization records is in a word - Outstanding! Take a look below at the 20 or so types of information that can be found.

If you wish to get educated first about all of these documents and the naturalization process - please read these two terrific summaries:

  • The U.S. Archives Naturalization Records
  • FamliySearch's Wiki entry United States Naturalization and Citizenship

Okay - now that you are educated and know that post-1906 - about 4 awesome documents just drip with great information: Declaration of Intent, Petition for Citizenship or Naturalization, Certificate of Arrival, and the Certificate of Naturalization. Many of the online genealogy websites may not have all of these documents available, but do have index cards that are searchable - which has information regarding the court handling the proceedings.  With this information you might be able to track down some of the source documents.

So lets' go - what types of information are included in these documents?

  • Name (often includes middle name which is useful). Can help with spelling of more complex names for future searching as well.
  • Age
  • Occupation
  • Physical Characteristics - color/race, complexion, height and weight, hair and eye color, and scars or other distinctive marks.
  • Birth Location
  • Birth Date
  • Current Address
  • Emigration Information - port of departure, name of ship/vessel, and date of departure
  • Immigration Information - port of arrival and date of arrival
  • Last Foreign Residence
  • Marital Status
  • Marriage Date
  • Marriage Location
  • Spouse Information - Name of spouse and their birth location and current address. Also when they entered the U.S. May include their naturalization information if applicable
  • Signature (always fun to see how they signed their name)
  • Name and Location of court handling the proceedings
  • Children - names, place of birth and current residence
  • Witnesses - names, occupations, and addresses - always useful (and underappreciated) - may provide means of alternative research if the same surname - or if a friend - possible clues.
  • Former Names - if they changed their name or if they got married in the U.S. may provide great clues for additional research, especially in their birth country or former country of residence
  • Photo

Here is an example of a Declaration of Intent as well as a Petition for Citizenship:

Don't plan on having all of these documents available to you online. Some court "digging" may be in order. The Certificate of Naturalization I have had some difficulty finding except in the possession of the descendants of the naturalized citizen.

What are you waiting for?

What tidbits have you found that I may have omitted above?

50 Million Historic U.S. Newspaper Pages Now Available from Advantage Preservation That Can Be Searched for Free!

3/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture

Please note - This article has been updated and you now can get a more current list at:

80 Million Historic U.S. Newspaper Pages Now Available from Advantage Archives

Please refer to the newer article.


For the last 3 years I have been tracking the online collections made available by the Advantage Preservation company, who has contracted with several hundred libraries and other institutions across the U.S. to digitize and host their online newspaper collections.


The great majority of these links have been Incorporated in the state collection summaries found in the Newspaper Research Links page on this site. 

The most recent update from Advantage Preservation totals 517 collections from 39 states and a total number of pages exceeding 50 million!

​
Some of the collections are small, but others have over 50 different newspaper titles. Although Advantage-Preservation gets the credit for making these available, much of the credit should go to the individual libraries, library systems, historical societies and other institutions, who do the really hard work of obtaining the funds via grants and other funding sources to digitize these old newspapers and make them available online for their patrons.  In these times where funding for digitization of old newspapers from libraries, archives and other institutions is not easy to get, those of us who want to research our genealogy through newspapers and other documents owe a large debt of gratitude to the librarians and archivists who make all of this possible.  The moral of the story is "Support your local libraries and archives!"
