Hi One & All, Some real good news! :D While at the Delaware County Historical Society (DCHS), yesterday, I was told that they now have the following "index" record: Naturalization Index at the Delaware County Historical Society Book #1 1795 - 1860 Book #2 1860 - 1906 Book #3 1906 - 1926 Here is an example of what I found in this Naturalization Index: Fiorello, Lorenzo Age 30 Born - Caserta, Italy 4 December 1890 Migrated from Naples to New York, N. Y. Arrived 1 May 1913 DoI. 24 May 1921. #5088. Vol. 15, p-88 Made mark Date Filed - May 24, 1921 After you find the above info -- contact the Office of Judicial Support at the Delaware County Court House, Media, PA. Ask them for a copy of the (DoI.) Declaration of Intention, Certificate of Arrival & Petition of Naturalization. (The more resent the year of Naturalization the more information that is available.) I few years ago, I received the (DoI.) of Lorenzo Fiorello (Fiorelli), but he gave incorrect information on it. He named the vessel as the "Mendoza" & the date of arrival as, 1 May 1913, Port of NYC. The ship was the, "Berlin" & it arrived 30 Apr 1913, Port of NYC. Good luck with your research! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Will the DCHS respond to written inquiries requesting a search of the Naturalization Index?
