#1
Oconto County Circuit Court
Petitions for Naturalization-
This was the first step in the
old 2 step process of becoming a United States citizen. The immigrant
petitioned
the local court to indicate their interest in pursuing naturalization,
and to relinquished allegiance to their emigrated land.
Not all people who went through
this first petitioning step actually continued to the second step of
being
granted citizenship. Thus the information found on these petitions may
be the only first hand documentation of it's kind on an individual.
Although
the vast majority of
these petitions were initiated by males, there are occasional female
petitioners.
These petitions usually
contain:
The full name of the immigrant
(sometimes spelled more than one way).
The
date and year of birth of
the immigrant.
The
emigrant country name and
leadership.
The
port and year of entrance
into the United States.
The
date of petition application.
The
date and name of the county
and state where the petition was submitted.
The
signature or witnessed "mark"
of the immigrant petitioning applicant.
