I am looking for a naturalization record from the San Francisco District Office. My great-great Uncle became a citizen in 1896. Did any of those records survive the Earthquake?

Hi Barbara Bosy!

We had some fun with your very common ancestral research dilemma—inability to find what you seek. In order to reach your objective of finding her origins across the water, you’ll need to first build the foundation in US records.

Yes, we found your target ancestor in another record that sheds more light on her, her origins & her family member’s details! However, there is much more to seek & probably find!

This is our mission & vision: Since 1979, Lynell & I, Karl-Michael Sala, have found thousands of data, documents & images for thousands of ancestral family members for hundreds of clients! We were the very first two persons selected for the short-lived—but highly successful—Paid Expert Ancestry Research Line! Why? Because we usually found in just a few minutes data, documents & images that subscribers had been trying to find for the last 3 decades!

There is no charge for our initial research consultation. It is what we often do for others trying to find their European origins. Doing an initial free search (& usually a find) is how we share our talents with others.

We wish we could do everyone’s research for free, but this is just not economically feasible. So, if others cannot find their ancestors in online databases & image-bases—but know they are there (somewhere)—please call to discuss your case, but also email us full details.

As a service & a marketing test, we have located your target ancestor in the 1910 Census! It shows that Marcello Harren [sic; meaning that this is an obvious error, but it shows how it was mis-indexed] was allegedly born in England; her parents were reportedly born in Scotland.

Her immigration year matched the 1920 entry: 1882. Her daughter, Winifred--who was 26 in the 1920 Census--was indeed 10 years younger, age 16, in the 1910 household.

Daughter Winifred's & her siblings' (Marcella & Elizabeth) parents, i.e., the reportedly widowed mother Marcella--mother of 9; only 4 of whom were living in 1910--& her husband, were reportedly born in England.

There is more research to be done; however, there are no guarantees. That said, we have a 99% success ratio in locating new data, documents & images our clients did not have! If you like what you see & would like to get more, we'd like to now personally & professionally serve you by providing the actual DIGITAL data, documents & images of this image & more.

If you or any others would like cost-effective USA, Immigration or European research service, that will save you effort, time & money, please call & email me--a proven, 3-decade international ancestral genealogist.

If you'd like to see a copy of a stunning report for a client, that includes DIGITAL images of census, immigration (NY Passenger List), emigration (Hamburg Passenger List), & actual parish register entries from Tirschtiegel, Posen, Preussen (now Trzciel, Poznan, Poland) that are translated? That can be viewed by clicking on a link found on my GW Group: The German Genealogist. Yes, I can do much more than German. Call & email me all details on one target ancestor, spouse, children, parents, places of residence, i.e., whatever is known on that target ancestor:

My Great Grandmother Marcella Gonelligan Farren was on the 14th census 1920
It states that she was born in 1869. Came to America in 1882 that would have made a child at the age of 13.In 1886 she was naturalized that would have made her 17 at the time. It also states that she came from England but her birth place Ireland.I don't know when she got marry.The only place where i found her was on the 14th census and her daughter my grandmother marriage certificate. But nobody can find her they never heard of Gonelligan.That is her maiden name and odd one which should be easy to find but not for me.

Ken - There are quite a few free naturalization records online at http://naturalizationrecords.com/ There are also many links to free naturalization records on that same site.

Comment by Ken Schetter on July 11, 2009 at 4:51pm

Are there any websites where I can search for naturalization records for free?

Comment by Lorine McGinnis Schulze on July 10, 2009 at 9:37am

Elaine, how wonderful! I'm not surprised his memories were slightly off, as immigration facts in census and naturalization papers are often mis-remembered. But you are right, it gives you a base to start your search for that ship list!

If he had naturalized after 1906 it would be easier. Petitions for Naturalization after 1906 have information that has been verified and matched to an immigration record.

Any immigrant arriving after June 29, 1906, could not naturalize until their immigration record (a passenger list) was found. The certification of the immigrant's arrival, called a Certificate of Arrival, was sent to the courthouse, and this allowed the immigrant to naturalize.

When I incorrectly said "petition papers" I mean his Declaration of Intent papers.

Many years ago, in the pre-historic pre-computer days when genealogy was all footwork, I was luck enough to be allowed to dig through record books in the basement of the Old County Building (Wayne Co.) in Detroit, Michigan. I found my grandfather's petition papers and had them copied. I love that it gave his immigration date and the name of the ship he came on. Of course, his memories weren't quite accurate, but it definitely gave me something to go on. Now, with me living out of state, searching those records for other ancestors is impossible. Besides distance issues, I believe the record books have been moved elsewhere. I swear trying to research anything in Detroit is hard enough if you live there, but from out of state it's darned near impossible.
