    3. Perhaps I can help: Go to Family Search.com on the Web (the LDS site) and pull up the Catalog of the Library's holdings and you will see that the SLC Genealogical Society filmed Woodford County's Naturalization records in 1984. They have Naturalization papers, 1855-1906; Naturalization Records 1861-1901; and Naturalization Records 1867-1906. You can see the details for yourself. If you want to print them out, click in the white box by Title/Author and then hit "Print" Then hit the box that tells about the microfilm nos. and do the same. You will see that there are 7 reels of film in total. I hope this helps some of you. When doing your "Custom Search" only put in the county you want and then you can pick from the state when the list comes up. This is the easiest way to access what you want. Arlene Keith A.
