This is from "Sedgwick County (KS) Naturalizations," a book I am keywording for my local Gen. Society. The introductions states: "Aliens, who were males twnty one years and older or single women over twenty one, were requied by law, during the period from 1870 through 1906, to have continuous residency within the United States for at least five years before being eligible for citizenship. Two years before applying for citizenship, an alien, first, made his "declaration of intention" to become a citizen and renounced his allegiance to his former country (first papers). Second, at the time of admission, took an oath to support the constitution of the United States. And third, upon proof of residency in the US at least five years, and within the state one year [(267) Sec. 2165], he was granted citizenship (final papers). "Each of the three steps could be heard before any federal, state, or local court of record. Therefore, an alien's papers may be found anywhere, in one or more courthouses, between his place of arrival and where he finally settled. Most, however, will be found in the US District Courts. "Alien wives, and their children under twenty one, automatically became citizens when their husbands were naturalized. If an alien had made his declaration of intention but died before receiving his final papers, hi widow and children could become citizens by taking the prescribed oaths. "Under the age of twenty one, aliens, who resided in the US three years before reaching the age of twenty one and continuously after that, could apply for citizenship without the usual two year waiting period following the declaration of intention, provided they had lived in the US at least five years [(267) Sec 2167]. And, if an alien, twenty one years or older, enlisted in the army and received an honorable discharge, he could become a citizen by making a declaration of intention and proving residency of one year in the US."

Hi to all, Does anyone know how long you had to be in this country before you could be naturalized? Thank you, MaryAnn Payne

I am looking for family members of Amos OSBORN (b.1864 d.1935) who was married to Mary WAGNER (b.1869 d.1953). He may have worked as a blacksmith. They had 3 children, Edward John, Walter, and Margaret (married name KILHORNEY). Later moved to California?; Edward lived in Cleveland as an adult.

In 1900 my Great Grandfather packed up his entire family and moved from Alleppo Twp, Greene County, Pa. and moved to Bradner, Ohio. In 1907, Sarah died and Peter took the younger children and my Grandparents Daniel and Mary Edith Gary and returned to Pa. In 1909 Peter died and is buried in Somerset County, Pa., I have just learned from my family iin Bradner, Ohio that alot of my family still live in Wood County and Seneca County. The name is spelled Garey. I would appreciate hearing from any of those who may be reading this. I have a picture of my Father, Irwin Gary with a Franklin Gary, who I understand now was the son of Charles Garey who is also buried in Bradner, Cemetary. This picture was probably taken around 1928, as that is when my parents got married in Risingsun, Ohio.

<A HREF="http://www.interment.net/column/commentary/20000624/western.htm">Cli ck here: Portland Maine - The Desecration Capitol of the World</A> I've been on this list for awhile, but haven't been able to get the time to really devote to genealogy lately...however when I saw this, I thought I would pass it along. As we all respect and honor our past generations, and their final resting places, it would be fitting I think if to express your outrage over the city of Portland, Maine's cemetery policy. While I do not have any ancestors there, it is appalling all the same as to what they are promoting. I hope that you pass this along to any genealogists or anyone who would like to know what it happening in the world. The city of Portland has promoted a local cemetery as a leash-free dog park...meaning the dogs can run, dig, and 'take care of business' all over the graves, headstones, and memorial flags. http://www.interment.net/column/commentary/20000624/western.htm

I am new to this list and am looking for a Spears family who was in Seneca County in the early 1800's. This is all I know about the family: Barney Spears had a daughter Maria who married a John Hoover. John Hoover and Maria Spears then left Seneca County and went to Kent County, Michigan. I would greatly appreciate any information on these people. My thanks in advance, Dottie Rogers Stephenson (researching Hoover, Spears, Rogers, Mooney, Brown, Pierson)
