Naturalization records should be searched for under the town, county, and state levels in the Family History Library Catalog. The topics to search for are: Naturalization and Citizenship, and Naturalization and Citizenship - Indexes.<span id="fck_dom_range_temp_1281652853620_133" /> Because Tennessee naturalization records are often mixed among the court minutes of different courts, you should also search under the topic, Court Records for your county. The FHL has court records for many counties in Tennessee. | |||
The FHL has the Tennessee District Court naturalization records for the Eastern District from 1855-1960. (FHL first microfilm 1452262). | |||
A key reference book to naturalization records is: <br>• Schaefer, Christina K. ''Guide to Naturalization Records in the United States''. Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1997. (FHL book 973 P4s.) It identifies records at both the National Archives and the Family History Library. It also describes many state and county courthouse collections. This book was published in 1997 and has not been updated. The Family History Library has added naturalization records to their collection since the publication.<br> | |||
