Your welcome Tina, I have, also, noticed some people would go to Philadelphia, PA, to file for naturalization instead of filing in the county where they lived -- why, I have no idea. My Patrick TUTTLE did the same thing in 1880. NATURALIZATION -- Philadelphia, PA 2nd Oct 1880 Patrick TUTTLE, Chester, PA, took oath. 1851 arrived in Baltimore, MD. Witness was: John McSHANE of Chester, PA. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 9/27/2 4:53:40 PM, [email protected] writes: << Thank you Helen. I am, again, indebted to you for some great information. :) Didn't even think about the fact it was a Philadelphia court. He lived in Delaware County so I was thinking the info would be in the books you described. I will try the resources you mentioned. Take care! Tina >>
