They note if he served in the Military of the United States and therefore afforded a speedier path to becoming a citizen, showing rank, company, and unit, some showing the dates of enlistment and discharge. It also shows the names of the witnesses, some who might also be ancestors.

Every few years more information was added to the process forms, such as: their last foreign residence, the port of departure, mode of transportation, ship or railroad name, port of entry, and date, occupation, Spouse’s name and birthplace, children’s names, birth dates and birth places, and residence at the time of application. One court even gives a physical description of the petitioner. You will be very pleased if your relatives filed citizenship papers in Lake County.

Members of the Society have spent a lot of time fighting mosquitoes in cemeteries and suffering from eye fatigue and stiff muscles from reading microfilms so that we would have a nice long list of resources for Lake County researchers.

We also have some books on consignment from other Lake County authors.

All of these books are on our publications order form. Print out a copy for your files and/or send in an order.
