Guide to Naturalization Records

in the United States
 

State by state, county by county, city by city, the Guide to Naturalization Records identifies all repositories of naturalization records, systematically indicating the types of records held, their dates of coverage, and the location of original and microfilm records. But perhaps the most unique feature is that it identifies every piece of information on naturalizations that is available on microfilm through the National Archives or the Family History Library System.

In this way Ms. Lainhart has removed one of the last uncharted territories in American genealogy, opening up a range of fresh opportunities for the researcher.
