Hey all! I got it, I got it! I got my ancestor's Naturalization papers today from the UWGB-ARC! I was so excited I almost couldn't breathe! I got copies of 4 Declarations of Intention, and 1 Certificate of Citizenship, all for $6! Unfortunately, none of them were for my gggrandfather Gilbert or my ggrandfather Jules/Julius. Also unfortunately, none of them say where they are from more than "Canada." :-( That's OK, lots of other good information here. But, Jules/Julius Ashley stated on the 1900 census that he was naturalized, so how come his papers didn't show up with his brothers? Should I write back to the ARC and ask them to dig farther, maybe in Waupaca Co., for their papers? Any suggestions/ideas? But, if anybody is looking for Fred Konoske, from Germany/Prussia, or Frank Vannieurvinhovin (I think?) from Belgium, I have copies of their Declarations of Intention. They're below my gg-uncle's DI. And I can give a page reference for Elzian DeWilt, 4/1888, from Holland, and Joseph Dion 4/1893, if anybody's interested. Happy Hunting!
