Genealogy is like digging for gold, using a pirate's map. You don't know
exactly where the treasure is, and you have to keep at it
to find it.

Click on the book for Records, then on the Naturalization Index:




NationalArchives Link

http://www.archives.gov

Naturalization papers are normally available from the County or area Federal District Court or Historical Society where the immigrant settled. The paperwork normally reveals the ship and the date it arrived in port. Immigration papers can be obtained at the above URL and normally include the country the immigrant came from, along with any relatives or sponsors in the USA. Form NATF 81 is the form you need to complete for ship's information. You must order it via the URL, above, fill it out, and send it in by regular mail. Once on site go to the Research Room and click on the topic of your choice, whether genealogy, family history, order forms, etc. It is important, when searching the U.S. Census for naturalization information, to start with 1920 (the latest available) and work back through 1910, 1900, etc. In 1900 the census records began revealing whether or not the resident was a naturalized citizen. Using that information you should be able to locate the naturalization record, the Declaration of Intent, and information crucial to your search for a place of origin.

The Complete Beginner's Guide to Genealogy

A book detailing the root causes of  German emigration between
1816 and 1885, including the Hessian states, is heavy reading, but should
help anyone interested in this subject to understand the events of the time which
drove the migration. The title is:

"Colonists For Sale," by Alderman. Published by
Macmillian, New York, ISBN 0-02-700 220-9

There are some awesome descriptions of Germans finding their way to a port of debarcation and on to "The New World." Incredible hardships and lots of inhumane treatment for a weary folk as they left, and repeated upon their arrival. I couldn't put it down.
