 <u>'''Town of Origin'''</u>
-Most researchers hope to find the town of origin in naturalization records. This information usually&nbsp;is listed in naturalization records after1906 when&nbsp;the forms were standardized. Often the country of origin is only listed in earlier naturalization records and&nbsp;the town&nbsp;not normally given. However, because each court recorded different information prior to 1906, it is important to search naturalization records to see what was recorded.

 <u>'''Court Records'''</u>
-Prior to 1906, each court created their own naturalization forms. Each form was different, so information recorded on the form differed. You may find&nbsp;substantial information in one court (date and place of immigration, age of applicant)&nbsp;and the most basic information (country of origin)&nbsp;in another court.

You may find&nbsp;substantial information in one court (date and place of immigration, age of applicant, place of birth)&nbsp;and&nbsp;very little&nbsp;information (name of aaplicant, country of origin)&nbsp;in another court.&nbsp; Thus, it is important to always obtain the naturalization records of an immigrant even if they naturalized before 1906.
