Mike, All the naturalization indexes and some of the records for Kane Co. are available for you to view on microfilm after ordering through your closest LDS Family History Center. Once I found my ancestor in the index this way, I was able to request the naturalization decree from the Kane County Courthouse---I think it was the Circuit Clerk's office--and received it quickly for a small fee.

I've seen that there is a index of naturalizations published by the Kane County Genealogical Society. Is there anyone out there who could check it for me? The primary range of dates is from about 1850 to about 1870, but I'd be interested in anything you find. Thanks! > > -Mike Fischer
