Marybeth, If you have the Declaration of Intent, then you have the most detailed of the Naturalization papers already. All of Centre Co.'s are digitized and you can view them for yourself at: http://county.centreconnect.org/hrip/index.htm They contain the Naturalization files from 1802 to 1929, our Revolutionary War county declarations, and our Slave Registers from 1803 to 1820. Hope this helps you out. Re: The Ship records, you can order them at your nearest LDS Family History Center for a minimal fee on microfilm. Order the indices and the dates of arrival to be sure of locating your relative.

Hi: Thanks for referring to the county government site below. There's much more there for genealogists than most "county/government" sites, even linking with "Philadelphia." I personally didn't find anything for myself but saved, for future reference. When I find my ggrandfather in the Filby books and ordered his papers from Philadelphia, the formed had the word "Philadelphia" crossed out and "Blair County" handwritten so that was a great confirmation since my McGlinseys were the only ones in Blair County at that time.
