Hello Baerbel, [I hope you're reading along]! Can you find out if the LDS has microfilmed the naturalization records for the Eastern Federal District Cout of Michigan [which includes Detroit] that are archived in Chicago? These are naturalizations that were performed in the Federal District Court in Detroit. These are not the nat. records accessible online. I had posted this subject a couple of years ago to no avail and I'm hoping that enough time has passed to where they might be available on film. Two years ago I applied to the Chicago archives and while they first thought they could help since I have the exact date on which the naturalization took place, without knowing the first name of the applicant and the surname being FUCHS that was subsequently changed to FOX, they could not help me. I have no idea by what system these records have been filed. Of course there is the possibility that they didn't want to be bothered. You may ask how come I know the exact date and place but not the first name of the person. The information comes from a passport application made by the applicant's son, John W. Fox, in which he referenced that his father immigrated from Nuernberg on such and such a date, and that his father was naturalized on such and such a date in Detroit without ever mentioning his father's first name!! Since John W. Fox, the son, spent much of his adult life in the state of NY, while his parents lived in Detroit, I have not been able to connect him to his parents under FUCHS or FOX. I was hopeful when I came across the passenger list of a John Fuchs from Nuernberg, but I have never been able to find him on a census following his immigration. I would be most appreciative if you could check this out for me. Thanks a bunch.
