Hi list, I will do a lookup in the Naturalization Index Records from 1795-1860 for Delaware Co., PA. (There are many Irish immigrants in these records.) Please place on the subject line "only one" person's name. Do NOT send me a list of names! Please put the surname in capital (LARGE) letters so I can tell if it is the person's given name or surname: Example: James THOMAS or THOMAS, James -- NOT James Thomas. Women were NOT Naturalized in this time period -- they became a citizen if & when their husband did or when they married a man who had already became a citizen or was a citizen. If a person lives in Philadelphia or Berks Co., PA they would NOT have come to Delaware Co., PA to file citizenship papers but if a person lives in Delaware Co. he may go to Phila. to file! Hence, going from the county level to the state level to file. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

I'll take you up on your wonderful offer...Thank you...Are these for only Meath people? My great great came over from England before 1856.. Thanks you.
