Certificate of Naturalization Form |
| After the court accepts the petition, and naturalizes the alien,
the court provides a "Certificate of Naturalization" to
the new citizen. As you can see this last document generally
has the least information and yet it is the one the
family members has. It often only gives a physical description of
the new citizen, as well as the subject's name, address, former country,
the court and date of naturalization.
Many of the facts cited above come from a brief booklet by John J. Newman, American Naturalization Processes and Procedures, 1790-1985. Published by the Family History Section of the Indiana Historical Society in 1985. This is an excellent book to see how the government changes the naturalization forms over the 100 years of the naturalization process of the twentieth century.
