Can someone answer this very good question posted to me from Kathryn, as I am trying to obtain more material on early Baltimore, so I can feel com- fortable answering something like this....... Tim **** >> Actually my question to you: Did people have to come to Baltimore to get their naturalization papers? or could they get them in the county they lived in. Thanks anyway for getting back to me. Kathryn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy Robinson" <trobinson42@comcast.net> To: "Kathryn Riley" <kriley@carr.org <<<<

I'm not terribly knowledgably about naturalizations, but I know that it could be done in a number of different courts - including county courts. There are naturalizations done in Harford and Cecil County courts, so I would assume the same is true for Baltimore and other Maryland counties. One of the difficult things with naturalizations is pinning down which courts to check. Also, individuals could file an Intent for naturalization and then be naturalized in an entirely different state. I don't understand all I don't know about the naturalization processes.
