(I don't know how you would order them though.) Hi All, I am walking you thru this, because it is also handy for searching in other counties, in all states. I would bookmark some of these locations to have handy. http://www.familysearch.com/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp go to Place Search, type in Pennsylvania press search click on the blue Pennsylvania On that screen click View Related Places (that take you to a screen that shows the countys of Pa.) Click on Elk. It then shows you what is available for records Topics Pennsylvania, Elk - Biography Pennsylvania, Elk - Cemeteries Pennsylvania, Elk - Court records Pennsylvania, Elk - Directories Pennsylvania, Elk - Genealogy - Handbooks, manuals, etc. Pennsylvania, Elk - History Pennsylvania, Elk - History - Indexes Pennsylvania, Elk - Land and property Pennsylvania, Elk - Maps Pennsylvania, Elk - Military records Pennsylvania, Elk - Naturalization and citizenship Pennsylvania, Elk - Probate records Pennsylvania, Elk - Probate records - Indexes Pennsylvania, Elk - Vital records By selecting any of the above you get: Naturalization records, 1844-1906 Pennsylvania. Court of Common Pleas (Elk County) Click on View Film Notes. Naturalization dockets v. A-B 1844-1906 Naturalization papers 1844-1847 FHL US/CAN Film 1317014 Naturalization papers 1847-1866 FHL US/CAN Film 1316430 Naturalization papers 1867-Sept. 1879 FHL US/CAN Film 1316431 Naturalization papers Sept. 1879-Sept. 1887 FHL US/CAN Film 1316432 Naturalization papers Sept. 1887-May 1891 FHL US/CAN Film 1316433 Naturalization papers May 1891-May 1894 FHL US/CAN Film 1317177 Naturalization papers May 1894-Sept. 1896 FHL US/CAN Film 1317178 Naturalization papers Sept. 1896-Apr. 1898 FHL US/CAN Film 1317179 Naturalization papers Apr. 1898-Oct. 1900 FHL US/CAN Film 1317180 Naturalization papers Oct. 1900-Oct. 1902 FHL US/CAN Film 1317181 Naturalization papers Oct. 1902-Oct. 1903 FHL US/CAN Film 1317182 Naturalization papers Oct. 1903-May 1906 FHL US/CAN Film 1317183 Now you can see the film #'s you might need to search... You can click on the other things in the main list and find there film #'s also. Now though you need to go to your nearest Family History Center and order the films (if not already there) to be sent there for your perusal. FamilySearch - Family History Centers go here to find the one nearest to you. I hope this helps everyone. Terry Fillows4@aol.com
