Speaker Hal Bookbinder will provide a short history of immigration and naturalization laws and provide general guidance in finding your ancestors naturalization documentation. One of the first things that the newly created United States of America did was to establish laws covering naturalization.
These laws, however, were administered by the states with many variations. Over the years, the laws were repeatedly changed. Finally, in 1906 the Federal Government took control of the entire process. The standardized documentation after 1906 has proven invaluable to genealogical researchers. Similarly, laws controlling immigration have also changed over time, generally becoming more restrictive. As immigration and naturalization documentation can be key information in tracing ones roots, understanding how the process worked over time, understanding how the information was recorded and where it might be found is essential.
