Naturalization records have been filed primarily in municipal, county, circuit, supreme, and U.S. district courts. Some of the older evidences of citizenship are found in the minutes of these courts and not in separate books. The records of approximately two-thirds of the counties are on microfilm at the area research centers. | Naturalization records have been filed primarily in municipal, county, circuit, supreme, and U.S. district courts.

In 1906 the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) was created, forms were standardized, and duplicate records were created by the court and sent to the INS. To access these records, download a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) form from www.uscis.gov, fill it out and send it to the addresss listed on the form. You may also contact the National Archives—Great Lakes Region, [http://www.archives.gov/great-lakes/chicago/finding-aids/ http://www.archives.gov/great-lakes/chicago/finding-aids/], for naturalization records. The archives branch has records of the U.S. District Court from 1866 to 1921 and an extensive index to other federal records.<br><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --> | |||
