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 online. 

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

If you wish to get educated first about all of these documents and the naturalization process and how it has changed over time - please read these terrific summaries:

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

Okay - now that you are educated and know that post-1906 there are 4 awesome documents that 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.

Below is a list of links to each of the Mid West state's list of links to their collections:

• Free Illinois Online Naturalization Records
• Free Indiana Online Naturalization Records
• Free Iowa Online Naturalization Records
• Free Kansas Online Naturalization Records
• Free Michigan Online Naturalization Records

South Carolina is one of the states that has a central online state repository for searching historical newspapers. Several states use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main central online site for searching old newspapers, and many of South Carolina's free newspapers are available on the Library of Congress site. There are more free online newspapers available on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them. 

There are over 1,300 newspapers that have been published in the Palmetto State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. So go for it - find your South Carolina ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

For more links for different states, provinces, and countries - please see the Newspaper Links page on this website.

Oklahoma is one of the states that does has a single central online state repository for searching historical newspapers. Several states use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main central online site for searching old newspapers and currently Oklahoma has several newspapers available on that site. There are lots of free online newspapers also available on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them. 

There are over 3,600 newspapers that have been published in the Sooner State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are several that are indeed available. So go for it - find your Oklahoma ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

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 online. 

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

If you wish to get educated first about all of these documents and the naturalization process and how it has changed over time - please read these two terrific summaries:

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

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.

Below is a list of links to free online naturalization record and index collections for the state:

​Note: Some of the links listed below take you to a FamilySearch Collection of digital images. Near the bottom of the page under Film/Digital Notes is the name of each sub-collection. If there is a camera icon at the right of the name (in the Format column) then the collections' images are browsable. If there is a camera with a key icon, it is only available at a Family History Center or affiliated library. If there is a film reel icon, then it is only available in microfilm format, not digital.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!​

West Virginia is one of the states that does not have a single central online state repository for searching historical newspapers, but they use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main site for searching old newspapers. There are many free online newspapers on other sites and collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them. 

​There are over 1,100 newspapers that have been published in the Mountain State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are several that are indeed available. So go for it - find your West Virginia ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

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 online. 

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

If you wish to get educated first about all of these documents and the naturalization process and how it has changed over time - please read these two terrific summaries:

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

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.

Below is a list of links to free online naturalization record and index collections for the state:

​Note: Some of the links listed below take you to a FamilySearch Collection of digital images. Near the bottom of the page under Film/Digital Notes is the name of each sub-collection. If there is a camera icon at the right of the name (in the Format column) then the collections' images are browsable. If there is a camera with a key icon, it is only available at a Family History Center or affiliated library. If there is a film reel icon, then it is only available in microfilm format, not digital.

​Kentucky is one of the states that has a single central online state repository for searching historical newspapers. It also has free content with the Library of Congress Chronicling America site. There are many free online newspapers as well on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them. 

There are over 2,000 newspapers that have been published in the Bluegrass State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are quite a few that are indeed available. So go for it - find your Kentucky ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location. Some are easier than others to navigate - I will leave you to try them and judge for yourself.

​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 online. 

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

If you wish to get educated first about all of these documents and the naturalization process and how it has changed over time - please read these two terrific summaries:

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

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.

Below is a list of links to free online naturalization record and index collections for the state:

​Note: Some of the links listed below take you to a FamilySearch Collection of digital images. Near the bottom of the page under Film/Digital Notes is the name of each sub-collection. If there is a camera icon at the right of the name (in the Format column) then the collections' images are browsable. If there is a camera with a key icon, it is only available at a Family History Center or affiliated library. If there is a film reel icon, then it is only available in microfilm format, not digital.
