Many immigrants began the citizenship process by filing papers with the county they first arrived in. It was common for an immigrant to then finish the naturalization records requirements in the final state and county they ended up. This results in challenge for family members looking for the naturalization records of their ancestors. More and more of these naturalization records are being made accessible via online portals such as \u003Cem>SearchQuarry.com\u003C\u002Fem>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the process of naturalization describes the way in which an alien becomes an American, naturalization records have been deemed very important for genealogy research. After 1906, the \u003Cem>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.uscis.gov\u002Fn-300\">Declaration of Intention \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fem>contained some information and was reported to have incorrect information about names and their correct spelling. However, \u003Cem>Petitions for Naturalization contains information that has been verified and matched to an immigration record.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Official Copies of Naturalization Records\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>As we have been discussing, prior to 1906 any “court of record” – that is, municipal, county, state or Federal – has the ability to grant citizenship, however the \u003Cem>National Archives\u003C\u002Fem> might not have naturalization records created in state or local courts.
