Judi This is great information, and thank you for sharing it with us. However, if our connections are neither Jewish nor military, we need other sources. I would love to see ALL naturalization indexes online. Having followed many leads to dead ends, I know that information can show up in quite unexpected places, so let's lobby for ALL of them, if this is possible. One never knows where a little jewel is buried.

Please go look at the web site. There are several counties that you can access from this page and they are abstracted the indexes completely, not only for people who were Jewish.
