After statehood in 1859, the circuit court had primary jurisdiction over naturalization. The county clerk served as clerk of the circuit court and kept the records. You can obtain copies of declarations and petitions from the clerk's office in each county. Some naturalization records may also be found in county court journals or U.S. district court records. The FamilySearch Library has copies of some naturalization records for [[Oregon, United States Genealogy|Oregon]]. | After statehood in 1859, the circuit court had primary jurisdiction over naturalization.
