Miscellaneous Naturalization Records USA, Canada, NZ, AUS


An often overlooked resource for ancestor searching is Naturalization Records.

Naturalization records can help you find the date of immigration, ship's passenger list, port of arrival, and the place of birth for your ancestor. Some naturalization records include occupations, names and ages of minor children and more 

 Many years ago I set up a website devoted to Naturalization and Passports. If you haven't been there, you may want to check it out.

NaturalizationRecords.com contains links to as many online naturalization and passport records I could find for USA and Canada. It also contains some transcribed records for those topics.

Here's a few naturalization records links to start you off. This particular set for America is pay-to-view records. NaturalizationRecords.com  also has links to free databases for America and Canada:
