I am excited to announce that I have finally completed my newly revised and re-designed site NaturalizationRecords.com
Naturalization is the process by which an alien from one country becomes a citizen of another country. The naturalization process did not have to happen in one court, or in one location. It was not mandatory and not all aliens became citizens, and not all completed the process once they started it. Naturalization Records are very important to your genealogical research but are often overlooked.
I created a simplified design and navigation system that will hopefully allow visitors to find their ancestors in these records much more quickly.
I have links, original documents, and my transcribed indexes of names for Naturalization Records, Passports, Alien Registrations and much more.
Here are a few links to get you started:
Naturalization & Citizenship Records & Examples
U.S.A. Naturalizations
Canada Naturalizations
American Passport Applications
American Alien Registrations
Canadian Passports
Canadian Oaths of Allegiance
Canadian Sessional Papers
I took me 6 months to redesign and move the site to it's new home, followed by a month of checking and double-checking for broken links. Fingers crossed, but I think I found and fixed them all.
Please take a peek, and if you do find something wrong, I'd appreciate you dropping me a note at olivetreegenealogy@gmail.com so I can fix any problems I might have missed.
Enjoy your visit!
Thank you, I look forward to searching this site.

There are 399 pages on NaturalizationRecords.com. I appreciate the eagle eye but unless I know what page or pages these typos are on, I can't fix them.
ReplyDeletebtw they aren't spelling errors, they're typos. I know how to spell Library, Location etc.
Just found "redindicates" typo and fixed
ReplyDeleteI've been able to use the site search engine to find the following typos (and fix them)
ReplyDeleteNo space between redindicates
Location misspelled in Locatin of the Records
Misspelling of Libararies
But the missing commas and other punctuation, etc cannot be found that way.
Thank you for this extensive guide, which will make tracking these records down much easier than relying on Ancestry. Must have taken an enormous investment of your time.
ReplyDeleteHi Gwen - I hope you find an ancestor or two! Yes, it took far longer than I thought it would but I am so happy it's done, and proud of its new cleaner look. It should be much easier for visitors to navigate.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! If someone is distracted by commas and punctuation in Genealogy, then they are in for a big surprise when they look at the documents! Thanks for all you do and continue to do for genealogists and family historians alike!
ReplyDeleteIf the person who so pointedly/impolitely called out "distractions," has so thoroughly researched and generously shared information on a wide variety of topics to enlighten & assist others, perhaps he or she might have some level of credibility. Please stow the criticism and be kind enough to play elsewhere. Comments such as yours clearly reveal disrespect and a profound lack of gratitude. Shame!
