OK, Obviously, that didn't work. The transfer via e-mail really messed up the images and I doubt it can be clarified other than by going to the LDS website (_www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) ) and clicking on the top tab to reach the library catalog. Once there, click on "place" search. Enter "Hamilton" and "Ohio" in the boxes. On the alphabetical list, you will see two resources for Citizenship. One is an index. Click on the other. The list of several items comes up. That may make my previous message a little clearer. At any rate, you can actually see some of the Citizenship/Naturalization records on the microfilm.

Thank you, Ann, for those links. It appears, from reading the description of the last two items--"Naturalization records, 1850-1902" and "Restoration of naturalization papers, 1887-1926 : second papers of 1830-1889"--that these are "restored" records. That means that after the courthouse fire, people were invited to bring their copies of naturalization papers and have them re-recorded. If a naturalized citizen did not do that, then there is no record. That's what I learned at probate court, too. Looks like I am out of luck unless the Declarations of Intention were stored somewhere else when the fire occurred. Nora [email protected] wrote: > OK, > > Obviously, that didn't work.
