Hi John, By any chance did they go to Cleveland OH? That is where my husband's family settled in 1870s and 80s. I found their naturalization papers when they became citizens of the US and that gave me a lot of information. I recently found some of them on the Pembroke ship arriving in 1873. Good luck.

Where can you locate copies of Naturalization papers? Nearly all of my family emigrated from Wales to Taylor, PA, USA in the mid 1870s. Thanks!

Beth Anne, My Irish coal-mining ancestor came in through Castle Garden from Scotland in 1880 and went to Tioga County, Pennsylvania. I was able to get my great-grandfather's declaration of intent (to apply for citizenship) and his naturalization petition from the county court house. He filed his intent in 1886 and was naturalized in 1897 in the Court of Common Pleas for Tioga County. I sent my request to the court house by snail mail, along with a small fee, and they were able to send me photocopies of the papers. There wasn't a lot of information, but it's still nice to have. I was going to check online for you, but there are several towns with the name of Taylor in Pennsylvania, and I didn't know which county was the right one. But the county courthouse nearest to where your ancestor lived is a good place to start looking for naturalization documents.

Beth Anne, If you cannot locate naturalization papers at local or state courts, apply to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. You can download an application form from their website. Call 1-800-375-5283 for information/instructions. I don't have the URL. Or you may write to them at the U.S. Department of Homeliand Security, P.O. Box 648010, Lee's Summit, MO 64064-8010.
