Hi, What information is available on naturalization papers from the 1850's? I have a paper ,that was sent to me, where my gg-grandfather was pledging his allegiance to the United States. (He was from England). There is no title on this paper to tell what it is. It looks like a Declaration of Intent. Would his Petition for Naturalization papers be in DeKalb County as this other paper was? How much information did the Petition for Naturalization give back then? I'm hoping to find the ships name, and if he came with any siblings or other family. I would surely appreciate some help. Thanks! Yours in Christ, Debbie
