Naturalization Record for David D Jones
« on: Friday 16 December 05 00:46 GMT (UK) »

I'm struck and need help!
My grandfather left Wales for the USA in 1882, but I don't know where he lived in Wales. I was told or read somewhere that his previous residence would be on his Naturalization Records.

On the 1900 census for South Dakota, it says he was born June 1863 in Wales, immigrated in 1882 and was naturalized.

If someone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bob

You might need to know where he was residing at the time of naturalization.  Here is Nara's website that offers suggestions and links.

http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/naturalization/#find

Where can I find Naturalization Records?

Prue-1906:
Prior to 1906, any "court of record" (municipal, county, state, or Federal) could grant U.S. citizenship. As a general rule, the National Archives does not have naturalization records created in State or local courts. However, a few indexes and records have been donated to the National Archives from counties, states and local courts and are available as National Archives microfilm publications. See the list of this county and state microfilm available.
For pre-1906 naturalizations:

Contact the State Archives for the state where the naturalization occurred to request a search of state, county, and local courts records.
Contact the NARA regional facility that serves the state where naturalization occurred to request a search of Federal court records


If South Dakota, here is a link for their state historical society.
http://www.sdhistory.org/

Here is the link for their on-line index

Hi Nutkin & Ohio Susan

Thanks for your response.
I found David D in Edmunds County SD, which is where they lived when my father was born. He didn't apply for his paper until March 1894.
If I send for copies of the papers, do you know what information they would contain?

Try http://naturalizationrecords.com/ for online naturalization records AND for help if you have to send for papers offline.

IF he was still alive in 1930, that census gives the year of naturalization. See http://allcensusrecords.com/

Don't forget that you can't take the immigration or naturalization year on census as gospel - that is the most MIS-remembered years of all!

Thanks Eillo

My grandfather had came to Canada before the 1920 census.
On the South Dakota website, that Nutkin mentioned, it didn't show him applying for his 1st papers but it showed his 2nd papers.
I believe he had spent some time in Wisconsin and Nebraska before going to S.D.
Do you know if those 2 states have Naturalization sites like South Dakota? Maybe he applied for 1st papers there.
Thanks Bob

For the state of Wisconsin, it looks like the historical society has all the naturalization records.  They are indexed in each county.  Here is the state website. Looks like you would need to know what county he resdied in to find a naturalization-
http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/natlzn/nat-faq.asp

Looks like in Nebraska you could contact the Omaha Library and they can look at the state-wide indexes for you (for a fee).
