== How Do I Search This Collection? == | == How Do I Search This Collection? == | ||
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know: | |||
*The full name of your ancestor | |||
*The approximate date of immigration | |||
*The approximate date of naturalization | |||
*The ancestor’s residence at the time of naturalization | |||
If you do not know this information, check the 1900 census and then calculate the possible year of naturalization based on the date of immigration. The 1920 census may tell you the exact year of immigration or naturalization. If your ancestor naturalized before 1900, check the census records to see when he or she first appeared in the census. This will give you a 10 year window in which they may have immigrated. | |||
