Summary of Records
Scope and Content
This series contains stubs for certificates of citizenship issued by the court to newly naturalized citizens. The court clerk was responsible for sending the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization in Washington D.C. a duplicate of the certificate, "and to make and keep on file in his office a stub for each certificate so issued by him, whereon shall be entered a memorandum of all the essential facts set forth in such certificate." The preprinted stub forms were in volumes issued by the Bureau of Naturalization.
The essential facts included both filing information and personal history data: certificate number; name; age; declaration of intention filing data; petition for citizenship filing data; name, age, and residence of wife; names, ages, and residences of minor children; date of order admitting to citizenship with volume and page recorded; and signature of holder.
