Schaefer | 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|788457|item|disp=FHL book 973 P4s}} | ||
Most microfilm found in the Family History Library Catalog can be ordered online at [https://familysearch.org/films FamilySearch]. | Schaefer identifies records at both the National Archives (Georgia) and the Family History Library. She also describes many state and county courthouse collections. This book was published in 1997 and has not been updated. At that time, the FHL collection of Tennessee naturalization records was very small. Some naturalization records have been added to the FHL collection since that time.<br> | ||
