Series 2: Declarations of Intentions

DECLARATIONS OF INTENTIONS date 1856-1980. Years 1856-1906 are bound while the years 1929-1980 were unbound and placed in archival folders and boxes. Declaration volumes contain an alphabetical index at the front of each volume. There is no volume index for Vol. 7.

Miscellaneous declarations, 1854-1893, are arranged in alphabetical order by surname in an archival box. It is believed that the court obtained these declarations from the individual when the person became involved in a court case and never returned them. Entry cards in the Index to Citizenship direct the researcher to the miscellaneous declarations of intentions.

For preservation purposes some volumes have been dismantled and placed in boxes. For these volumes the contents list below gives the volume number in parentheses ( ) for identification purposes, and the box number for location purposes. Volume numbers in brackets [ ] were assigned in the Archives.
