Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2414 Surname: Henry ------------------------- Have information my ggggrandfather James Henry, Sr. was naturalized 15 May 1815 in Venango Co. James came from Ireland but probably was from Scotland originally. Wife was Bridget. Can anyone advise how I can obtain copy of naturalization papers? >> Betty, In looking for my g Grandfathers naturalization paper from Idaho, I was advised by the Historical Society to look for his "declaration of Intent". This usually leads you to the naturalization papers. It worked for me so you can try that if you want in the PA area. Kat JstPlnKAT@aol.com
