These are instruments by which whose who had declared their intention to become U.S. citizens and had resided in the U.S. continously for 5 years made formal application for U.S. citizenship. Petitions before 1906 are brief forms indicating the name and citizenship of applicant, date of petition and signature. Sometimes an address of the petitioner appears. After 1906, a longer and more detailed form was used. Shown on this form were the name of alien, age, date of birth, occupation, place of birth and vessel on which alien embarked for the U.S. and place and date of arrival into the U.S.; his wife's name, her date and place of birth; and the names, dates and places of birth of his children. For petitions after 1911, see the District Court naturalization petitions, DCNV89-A737.
