Good Evening everyone, I think I've missed out on something somewhere. I have a copy of my great-great-grandfather's naturalization papers, but it says nothing about port of arrival. What is a Declaration of Intent, what type of information does it have, and how do I go about finding one on my great-great-grandfather? Thank you. This list has been a fountain of knowledge for me.
