Availability of Records[edit | edit source]
Naturalization records have been filed in the U.S. District and Circuit Courts and in the local courts in Ohio counties, especially in the courts of common pleas and the probate courts (after 1851). No centralized files exist before 1906.
Various types of records were created by the courts, including declarations, petitions, alien dockets, and military petitions for naturalization. Each record in the naturalization process may give different details about the person's travels, such as the date and port of arrival or the name of the ship. Not all counties recorded the same information.
Statewide List[edit | edit source]
- Schaefer, Christina K. Guide to Naturalization Records in the United States. (Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing, 1997.) At various libraries (WorldCat); FS Catalog book 973 P4s. A statewide list of Ohio naturalization records.
- For each county, this book describes the court; the years the records exist; where the originals are housed; and the FS Library film numbers, if they have been microfilmed. This book was published in 1997, so the FamilySearch Library has acquired additional records since then. Always search the FamilySearch Catalog for naturalization information in the county. The introduction discusses the naturalization process, the types of records created, and the usual genealogical content of each record.
