Naturalization records, 1868-1929
Notes
Microfilm of original records at the Crawford County Courthouse, Girard, Kansas.
The index to declarations of intention and petitions for naturalization covers vols. A (final naturalizations), 1-4 (declarations and final naturalizations) and 1-13 (petitions for naturalization with attached declarations, witness documents and other papers). Index does not distinguish between vols. 1-4 (declarations and final naturalizations) and vols. 1-4 (petitions). After vol. 13, it gives the number of the petition for naturalization. It also includes a one page index to petitions in the court journal at Girard for the years 1868-1889.
The index is incomplete; not all surnames appear and surnames with the letters B, C, D and E are missing; and parts of letters F and L are missing. After the letter J, the left-hand pages were filmed first and then the right-hand pages were filmed.
Individual volumes have separate indexes.
Clerk of District Court had two offices where naturalization papers were recorded. One was at Girard and the other was at Pittsburg, both of Crawford County, Kansas.
Library does not have vol. 1 of declarations and final naturalizations and Vol. 2 of petitions for naturalization with attached declarations.

About this record
This screen shows the complete catalog entry of the title you selected.
The Film/Digital Notes contain a description of the microfilm or microfiche numbers. Some family history centers and libraries maintain collections of previously loaned microfilms or microfiche. A camera icon indicates items that are digitally available online.
Generally, catalog entries are written in the same language as the original record they describe.
Reasons why microfilms may not yet be available digitally on FamilySearch.org include:
- The microfilm may be scheduled for future scanning.
- The microfilm may have been scanned, but have a contractual, data privacy, or other restriction preventing access. FamilySearch makes every effort to enable access dependent on decisions of record custodians and applicable laws.
