City of St. Louis vital
records information
The St. Louis Dept. of Vital Statistics at (314) 622-3551, has records of naturalizations
from 1842-1906 (when the Feds took over). St. Louis has never found the "Intent"
papers and they may be lost. These are the more valuable since all the naturalization
papers show is where (country) they are from.
