Sound methodology of research is to work back in time. Thus, the, naturalization is the place to look. There was no requirement for an, immigrant to become naturalized and many never bothered. However, most, immigrants did become naturalized. The 1900, 1910, and 1920 Federal, censuses all have categories indicating citizenship status. The 1920, census is the only one that gives the actual year of naturalization. Many naturalization records have been microfilmed and are available through the Family History Library. ALWAYS check the Family History Library Catalog before writing to the court. If you do not know the court where the naturalization took place work from "specific to general." Check for naturalization records in the local city or county court first, then check state and federal courts. Look under [STATE] [COUNTY] - NATURALIZATION AND CITIZENSHIP There are also separate guides to naturalization records in some states.
