    1. Advice on Naturalization records - Clay Co. Courthouse
    2. Laura Ellen Mitchell
    3. At the CC genealogical library last year I copied info from Declaration of Intent for Naturalization for two great-grandfathers. Both sailed from Glasgow, one in July 1869, and other in July 1870. I don't know their port(s) of arrival. The one time I had time to research at the courthouse, right before they closed I noticed blue books that said Naturalization Records. Has anyone on this list used them? Would they tell me more information than the intent record? It only listed name, date leaving Glasgow, date of arrival in US, and the country he was a subject to. I sent off for the ships passenger lists microfilms for New York for the above dates, but did not find them on the microfilms. But they could easily have come into another port. Does anyone know if emigrants sailing from Glasgow planned to come to Clay County directly after landing in the U.S.? If so, chances are there would have been a particular port that would have been common. One grandfather was Scottish and the other Irish. Suggestions? Laura E.
