The information in this database has been extracted from the Naturalization records for the State of Pennsylvania currently found at the National Archives and Records Administration facility in Philadelphia, PA. At this time, the following information comes from the Name Index (1901-1990) for the Middle District of PA (Harrisburg, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, etc.). The Name Index is found on microfilm and contains a snapshot of 3" x 5" notecards that contain the following information: Typically, across the top of the notecard is information that includes the petition# (Petition for Naturalization), volume#, and court where the petition was filed. This information is then followed by the surname, given name, address at the time the petition was filed, certificate# (Certificate of Naturalization), court where the petition was filed, place of birth, date of birth, point of arrival, date of arrival, date of naturalization, and the name and address of the witnesses present at the time of the petition.

Currently there are a limited number of records that have been extracted as I only get to visit this facility about twice a month (2nd and 4th Saturday of the month). However, this database will continue to grow with time as I pull more information from microfilm. If you would like me to do a lookup for a relative, please provide me with as much information on the individual as you can. At a minimum, the information should include the surname (and any known alternatives), and given name (and any nicknames). If you have additional information, such as a birthdate, any known address(es), port of entry in the U.S., or date of entry it would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if you need a record and you have the petition or certificate number, I can look up these records. Every little bit of information will help in determing the correct individuals in the records.
