Hi, I would be interested. I have recently found out my relatives came from Posen, Preussen (Germany). I just recently found a Christening listing for a family member and it says, "Schwersens, Posen, Preussen" in 1869. I'm guessing that means Prussia. Thank you for sharing.

Sandra, Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into my question. It seems to have solved the riddle. I look forward to exploring the links that you sent. Thank you again, Jeannine

Jeannine, I copied this from https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/United_States_Naturalization_and_Citizenshi p#Military It helps explain the Camp Humphreys Naturalization record: _________________________________ "Exceptions to the Naturalization Process There are exceptions to the naturalization process that can determine whether you find a declaration of intention and a petition for your ancestor, or not. Military : To serve in the United States military, one did not need to be a United States citizen - even today. The United States Government passed some naturalization laws to help encourage new immigrants to serve in the military in their new homeland. These laws made becoming a naturalized citizen easier for the immigrant in military service. The following are the laws concerning service in the military: World War I--In 1918, during WWI, the residency requirement was waived and the Declaration was also waived. Soldiers were naturalized at military posts." ______________________________________ I also found this: Under an act in 1918 aliens serving in the U.S. armed forces during World War 1 were allowed to file a petition for naturalization without making a declaration of intent on proving 5 years residence. More than 192,000 aliens were naturalized between May 9, 1918 and June 30 1919. Other laws later enacted continued various preferential treatment provisions for veterans ( 2 )* http://www.michiganancestry.com/files/Naturalization_Act.pdf ______________________________________ Even though the above says the Soldiers were Naturalized at the posts, the Virginia document on Ancestry is only the Petition and does not include the Oath of Allegiance and Order Admitting Petitioner like the document from the Pittsburgh Court. Perhaps the process was never completed because his Term of Service was complete and he returned to Pittsburgh. His draft card was filled out in 1917. The paperwork in Virginia was dated 15 June 1918 right after the ACT was passed. The war ended in November 1918. The PETITION filed in Pittsburgh was dated Jan 2, 1919. He may have had to file a new petition because he was now married and had to include the information about his wife in the document. The Oath of Allegiance stamped Jan 2, 1920 and the Order Admitting Petitioner March 4, 1920.

Mac, Your age is starting to show. The Parkway was built in the 50s and the tunnel opened in 1959 so 1926 doesn't mean a damn thing. However, since that section of Campbell's Run is almost in my backyard, I have to admit to the same ignorance. I wonder if somebody just didn't invent the name recently.

Thank you, Larry. It is along Cambells run road between the Stuebenville Pike and Carnegie.

I thought I heard on KDKA TV the other day, a reference to Bishops Corner interchange on the Parkway West. In 86 years of Western PA existence, I have never heard the phrase before. Help, help and help. TIA Mac

Used to be a Bishop's Ice Cream place there. ( Think it's a bar now). I think that's how it was named. ________________________________ From: Fred C McCutcheon <fredcmcc@earthlink.net> To: paallegh@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, February 22, 2011 2:08:34 PM Subject: Re: [ALL] Old Age ???

Al, Still alive and not too happy with the snow right now! I get why they would want him naturalized when he first signed up. He was in WWI (Co. "C" 45th Engineers Regiment- any guesses on that? Google didn't really help there). I do have his WWI draft card. I'm just confused why he would be re-naturalized, so to speak. The second set of records (the PA ones) even reference his honorable discharge from WWI and that he showed records of such. I guess my curiosity is redundant. I have record that he was naturalized, maybe I should just be happy to have that!

Jeannine, Well, gal, glad to see that you're still alive!! As to your ggf's records, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a duplication of records like that. Camp Humphrey's sounds like a military installation and I would imagine that Uncle Sam would want the naturalization recorded wherever the man first signed up.
