Naturalization

greenspun.com : LUSENET : San Francisco History : One Thread

I am a Norwegian hoping that somebody can tell me if it is possible, and if so, how I can trace my great grandfather's "Petition for naturalization", probably filed in San Francisco. His naturalization papers were signed in San Francisco September 29 1855. I hope, if I am lucky, to find some information about his years in America before 1855.

I would look at the U.S. National Archives site on naturalization records at www.nara.gov/genealogy/natural.html

You might also want to check the genealogy site at www.sfo.com/~timandpamwolf/sfrancty.htm for research tips and volunteers on how to trace your ancestors in San Francisco.
