Hello Tippers! A Declaration of Intent was usually the first papers to be filed by those who wished to become U.S. citizens and may be the only public record of an individual immigrant, it is a significant source of documentation for genealogists and scholars. The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County Archives (includes Chicago) has a on-line database of more than 400,000 Declarations of Intention were submitted between 1906-1929. http://www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org/NR/default.aspx I entered Tipperary in the "Birth Town" and Ireland in the "Birth Country" search boxes, 437 entries came up. Tipperary County was the common "Town" entry, but many had Parish or Registration District names. Entering only Ireland, 19,130 names were returned! This will work with any Town and County an immigrant came from who made the Declaration of Intent with the Circuit Court of Cook County between 1906-1929. The detail information provided is: First Name; Last Name; Birth Date; Birth City; Departed from; Arrived Date; Current Address; Occupation; Decl Date; Decl #; Vol; & Pg. The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County Archives is home to more than 500,000 naturalization petitions covering the years 1871 to 1929. Hope someone finds something! Ed Madden Ridgefield, WA
