I have my great grandfather's final declaration, see below. It refers to his declaration of intention to become a citizen. I found the final declaration at the MA National Archives. I'm sure I would have asked for the "intention", if it was available. Where might I find the original application? Naturalization: Final Declaration, filed 25 Oct 1898, Supreme Court, Rockingham County, Portsmouth, NH, #10. John Crowley of Portsmouth, NH declared his intention to become a citizen on 22 Oct 1896 at the Supreme Court of said County; He came from Ireland on 2 May 1892; Witnesses: William H. Newick and Daniel Crowley.
