In 1906 the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) was created, forms were standardized and duplicate records created by the court were sent to the INS. To access these records, download a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) form from [http://www.uscis.gov www.uscis.gov], fill it in and send it to the address listed on the form. You may also contact the [http://www.archives.gov/rocky-mountain/ National Archives—Rocky Mountain Region], or order films from the Family History Library. The library has naturalization records from 1877 to 1952. | |||
