You should try Scranton for the Lackawanna County Records first. The microfilm available at the courthouse covers from Carbondale city naturalizations in 1851 through the early 1900's. GRSNP has indexed them and should provide the index numbers upon request. The films of the dockets are available at the courthouse, the geneaological society, and the PA State Archive. Usually most county naturalization papers in PA gave only the name, age, and country of birth of the applicant plus the names of a witness (or sponser) who knew the applicant for the period he resided in this country before filing. Lackawanna county's went a bit further and you can often get an exact date of birth, date and port of arrival. However, no parents names, and rarely an exact birthplace. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Ferguson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2005 5:06 PM Subject: [PA-LAC] Naturalization Records in Scranton > I need to track down the First Papers for James H Connor (if only in > hopes that he listed his parents name on them!).
