Transcriptions of images, formatting, and page design by donkelly, County Coordinator of DesMoines County, Iowa.

If you need a copy of Naturalization papers or Declaration of Intent you can pay the $5.00 an hour fee plus the 25 cents a page copy cost offered by Des Moines County Genealogical Society, PO Box 493, Burlington, Iowa, 52601. That is much cheaper than going through the courthouse and The DSMGS is absolutely wonderful
