North
Dakota Naturalization Records Database
Search on-line database
The
North Dakota Naturalization Records Index database was compiled by the
State Historical Society of North Dakota. In cooperation with the Institute
for Regional Studies and the NDSU Libraries, the index is being made
available as a searchable database. It is complete for all North Dakota
counties and contains over 212,000 name entries. The index includes
information regarding name; country of emigration; dates of the "First
Papers" (declaration of intention) and "Second Papers" (naturalization);
and, the county district court where the proceedings occurred.
The
originals records are preserved at the State Historical Society of North
Dakota, and all have been microfilmed. For additional information on
the history of the naturalization laws and types of records, consult
the State Historical Society's Naturalization
Records page.
The
Institute has microfilm copies of the records for the southeastern North
Dakota counties of Barnes, Cass, Griggs, Ransom, Richland, Sargent,
Steele, and Traill. (Microfilm JK1822.N9)
