Laura, I am also interested in ancestors who came from Switzerland...They settled first in Wonewoc, Juneau, Wisconsin ...I wonder where the Declarations of Intent and Naturalizations would be for Juneau County around 1871?? I'd like to locate William HERZOG's Declaration of Intent or his Naturalization. I'm hoping it will be on one of these films: Title Juneau County (Wis.) naturalization records (1852-1929) and indexes (1849-1957) --, 1849-1957 Authors Wisconsin. Circuit Court (Juneau County) (Main Author) Film Petitions: 1855-1901 ; vol. 1 (1-10) 1906-1908. FHL US/CAN Film 2318618 Items 6 - 7 Card index 1929-1957 ; citizenship index 1849-1921 ; comprehensive index 1859-1929 ; declarations 1852-1902. FHL US/CAN Film 2318296 Declarations (cont.) 1852-1902. VAULT US/CAN Film 2318444 (Does anyone already have access to these films?)
