I have put the naturalization declarations for Aug to Dec 1853 on line. You will find more info than what I originally posted to the list. I have added date of arrival in USA, place of residence and date of declaration. You can access the table at the Rensselaer County website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyrenss2/ At the Rensselaer County homepage, under Genealogy, you will find a link for Naturalizations and Citizenship. Once on that page you will find the link under the section, Rensselaer County Naturalization Records, under Rensselaer County Justices' Court. You will also find a link on my website on the Troy page. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
