Greetings list, Last week I requested these 2 films (below) from the LDS. I don't even know if my ancestor is on them or if naturalized but I need to start somewhere. If anyone else's ancestor falls into these timeframes, give me the names & I'll see if I can find them also. I have not gotten notice yet that the films have arrived, hopefully within the week.

Andrea, It is kind of you to offer lookups in the films you've ordered from LDS. Hope you are not too badly swamped with requests! In 1802 my 4th great grandfather, Johannes ZULAUF, moved into Milford Twp., Mifflin Co. (now Juniata Co.) and lived there until 1838. After you receive the films you ordered and when you have time, would you kindly check for his name in the Mifflin Co. Naturalization docket 1802-1903 and the Naturalization papers 1810-1912? Variant spellings for his surname had included ZULAUFF, SULOUF, and other similar spellings in Berks Co. 1799-1792 and in York Co. 1792-1802. In one tax record his name even appears as ZULAUGH! (I figure only a Scots-Irish neighbor could have given his name that spelling!) I have been unable to find Oath Of Allegiance or Naturalization records in those counties where ZULAUF lived before moving to Mifflin Co. He lived out his life in Mifflin Co. 1802-1838. There, additional variant spellings for his surname included SULIFF and SULOFF. His surname spelling settled down to SULOUFF for the last 35 years of his life in Milford Twp., except that for both his will and estate documents the spelling ZULAUF was used. Best wishes, Rev.
