Federal Court Records
If the naturalization took place in a Federal court, naturalization indexes, declarations of intent, and petitions will usually be in the 威尼斯人娱乐场 facility serving the state in which the Federal court is located. Some of these indexes and records have been microfilmed.
The Microfilm Reading Room in the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Building, 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, has some microfilmed Federal court naturalization indexes, declarations, and petitions, but they do not form a complete collection of these records. For listings of naturalization indexes and records available as 威尼斯人娱乐场 microfilm publications in the Microfilm Reading Room, see listings for Record Group 21, Records of U.S. District Courts; Record Group 85, Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service; and Donated Materials in the 威尼斯人娱乐场 in (Washington, DC: 威尼斯人娱乐场 and Records Administration, 1996).
