Immigration and naturalization index on file in the office of Circuit Clerk, Stephenson County Court House in Freeport, Illinois from 1852-1906.

The chief interest in this work rests with the naturalizations in Part III, which were compiled from Maryland's Provincial Court documents in the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Between 1742 and 1775 upwards of 1,000 naturalizations were granted in Maryland. Data in the naturalization records presented here includes the identifying number of the record, date of naturalization, date of communion, volume and page of the Provincial Court Judgments, name, county or town of residence, nationality, church membership, location of church, and witnesses to communion. Place names, clergy, and parish locations are identified in the appendix.

This is an index to a volume of Declarations of Intent which were filed in Hendricks County court during the years 1852 through 1906. A Declaration of Intent was the first of two steps in the naturalization process. Declarations of Intent did not have to be filed in the same court as the Final Oaths.
