Declarations of intention and certificate of citizenship record books, 1851-1895.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122537088

To become a citizen of the United States, an individual normally filed a "declaration of intention to become a citizen" at least two years prior to applying for citizenship. The next step was the naturalization hearing, where if the judge found the applicant eligible to become a citizen, a loyalty oath was administered and a certificate of citizenship was issued. These books contain copies, or rarely originals, of the signed statements of individuals' intentions to become citizens. The first volume also contains a record of certificates of citizenship to newly naturalized citizens.
