Connecting the Dots

After reading this document not all Naturalization documents provide a cut path to the 'old country' Most are as vague as this one from Des Moines County

City Directories are, in my opinion, a very good resource.

Death Records are another resource that genealogists glean informative tidbits from that lead to yet another set of questions.

Brothers, Cousins, what documents are you willing to add?

A Second Confirming The Link

As a refresher: The law was:

" 1802 - 1906: 5 years residency with 1 year in state where applying and had to be in US three years before making Declaration of Intent."










So . . . . what do you conclude after reading this document?
