US Naturalization Records, Northern California, 1852-1989
This collection is a card index of naturalization records in Northern California district and circuit courts for the years 1852 to 1989. Naturalization requirements changed significantly in the year 1906. Prior to 1906, naturalization petitions required a limited amount of information, often only collecting the name of the petitioner, the name of the court, record number, the petitioner's country of origin, and the date of naturalization. After 1906 naturalization documents collected additional information such as the petitioner's address, names and addresses of any witnesses, birth date, as well as date and place of arrival in the United States. While the scope of the documents expanded, not all documents include the additional information.

Petitions for naturalization were one of the final steps towards United States citizenship. Of particular interest to genealogists, these petitions sometimes include multiple surnames, often alternate spellings or their “old country” name as well as their “Americanized” name. This collection is composed of NARA M1744.
