What information can I find on citizenship papers?
Early papers contain very little information, while post-1900 papers may contain a lot of information such as:
- birthplace and birth date of the immigrant
- date and port of entry in the United States
- the name of the ship in which the immigrant traveled
- names of he immigrant's wife and children
Did you know...?...women were NOT ALLOWED to file for U.S. citizenship until 1922!

- Naturalizations
- Petitions
- Second Paper
