Posted on: Dakota Co. Mn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Dakota/10633 Surname: ------------------------- Hi: When I entered the data for the Naturalization Intents, I copied everything that it listed: Christian Wolf, born Germany, 1842; Arrived at the port of New York on July 1868; Renounced citizenship of Germany; Declaration date- Apr. 2, 1875, recordefd on page 562 of Vol. One For finding Christian you can try two things--check the New York Passenger lists(on microfilm for July of 1868 or you can locate the Series Germans to America and check the indexes. I believe that series is close to 80 volumes. One warning is that sometimes the date of arrival is inccorrect, especially when the person filed his intent several years after his arrival, but you have to hope that is not the case. Good Luck Bob Olson
