| Before 1906, the information recorded on naturalization records (declaration of intention and petition) differed widely because every court created their own forms and decided what information to ask. Some asked very little, some asked more including birthplace and date of arrival. The declaration of intention may have more or less information than the petition, depending on what court the actions took place. The only way to know what a county asked is to locate both records and never assume one is better than the other.<br> | | Before 1906, the information recorded on naturalization records (declaration of intentions and petitions) differed widely because every court created their own forms and decided what information to ask.
