How do I find immigration/naturalization papers for AUGUST HOOVER, b. 1874 either in N.Y. or Switzerland. He was in Whiteside Co., Illinois, USA on the 1900 census and lived there until 1964. There are no records in Whiteside Co. Illinois, and he probablly wasn't there before 1890. Is there a compilation somewhere of the Swiss/Germans to America.--Thanks, Pat Welch Here are the census records: 900 Rock Falls, Whiteside, Illinois August Hoover 25 N.Y.
