Lars, At that time there was no fixed naturalization form. Naturalization could take place in any court, and each was different. My great-grandfathers' forms did not ask where they were from or when they came over. In the declaration of intent they just gave up their allegiance to the reigning Sovereign of the Kingdom of Norway and Sweden. This was in Goodhue County, Minn. The naturalization certificates for both (1884 and 1887) were in Pierce County, Wis. They swore that they renounced any allegiance to a Foreign Prince or Sovereign, and in particular to Oscar the 2nd, King of Norway and Sweden. I don't have any experience with Ohio. Maybe they asked for more information. Annette On 4/20/17, Lars E.
