Tom,
Often all you will find is an index card entry of the naturalization event
in a court system, and it can be in any one of many different court systems.
It has no similarity to what is found in the naturalization records after
1905 when the procedure became formalized.

I have been trying to locate Naturalization records in MN - Hennepin and
Ramsey county. The only record I have ever found is the document where
they just sign their name on the oath.
I have never found the Declaration of Intent which is suppose to be the
most genealogically valuable.
The timeframe I have been searching is the 1850/60's.
It seems as if these papers were not required back then. Is this true?
Also does anyone know if the MN Naturalization Index that is out there is
complete and what
If you could estimate the year ..... better yet a range of years .... say 1888 - 1906, then a search of the Minneapolis City
Directorys for those years might turn up the complete name and address. That would be a good start for you.

Hi,
Land became a big issue in that time. In 1862 the land was being sold in
Mn. I know my family also came for the same reason. And people had to be
citizens to buy land ,so the non citizens had to hold it for five years in
order to buy it right out. They had to show intent to become citizens in
order to do this,I believe. It took five years for citizenship to come
through.

Ignore the census entries I gave in my previous note - those were
1860's! Oops. I am going to go search the 1870's again.

Hello all,
I have been looking through the book "Champlin on the Mississippi" by D.C
Chandler 1979
It is a large book, a "coffee table book" with 364 pages of photos, stories
and lots of names. BUT... it is not indexed. Boggles my mind.
I have given thought to attempting to index it, but it seems an incredible
task. It also means that I can't offer to do lookups except as follows.
There are listings in the back of the book, with names taken from the
cemetery records, of folks buried in Champlin
I am trying to find information on the death of Clinton F. Clark. I am told
he died in Minneapolis, Hennepin Co., Minnesota in the early to mid 1940's.
Does Minnesota have a death index? If so could someone do a look up for me?
Would really appreciate this.
Thank you,
Bonnie
I haven't seen any reply to your questions, so I thought I'd start.
Minnesota became a state in 1858. I have no idea what this means in terms of
land and/or opportunities, but it may start to answer the question of why
they came that year.

No, don't give up. I found some microfilmed at the Minnesota History Center for ancestor immigrating 1888 or so.

Hey Ozzi...
It is just because Hennepin county is such a great place to live!!! <<
Tom -
All of the Naturalization records are at the Minnesota Historical
Society in St. Paul. They are on Microfilm and are indexed. The
Hennepin County index is called "Hennepin County naturalization
records surname index" (F612.H55 H45 2000 ) You can find the info by
using the on-line library index (PALS) -
http://www.pals.msus.edu/
For this entry I searched first for "naturalization records" and then
limited the findings with the word "hennepin"
Some comments - You never know what you might find
Well - I'm not sure where to look for my Gilbert's now.
I have been trying to find out where Ena Marie Gilbert was born in MN and
who her parents were.
From what I know so far:
She was born Oct 23, 1869 and died Aug 30, 1919. Her death certificate
does not give her parents name but says she was a resident in the city for
30 years so that would imply she was not born in Mpls.
She appears in the 1891 City Directory as a seamstress and she married
Horace Archer on May 6, 1891 at St. John's English Lu
Hello from Canada:
I am researching the family names of OFSTIE & WINGE. Is there anyone out
there that is also looking at these surnames? If so, I would love to
correspond with you. My "people" seem to have been in this area from the
1860's onward.
Look forward to talking to you.

I'd like to ask a HUGE favor of some kind soul living near the border between
Hennepin and Wright Counties. My GGGGrandfather is burried in St. Michael's
Cemetery in St. Michael, Wright County, Minnesota. His name was John K.
"Cajetan" Ayd (1799-1867). He and his brother's and children along with some
other family and friends helped to found the parish church and town of St.
Michael in the 1860's. The family operated a ferry that ran between St.
Michael and Dayton near the mouth of the Crow River.

Tom,
I wouldn't give up. For three of my ancestors the final papers listed where
they had applied for naturalization. All were naturalized in Minnesota, one in
Henn county, one in Todd, and one in Fillmore and all before 1870. All applied
elsewhere, one in Illinois, one in Indiana, one in Maine. Without the tiny clue
of knowing where they applied, I would still be at dead ends with names like
Swanson and Peterson.
Once I got the declaration of intent, I was able to check ship lists to find
where the

Hi folks,
Would someone with a 1868, '69, '70 & '71 Mpls City Directory, please lookup a Charles J. Swenson. Charles was
born June 1, 1864 in Sweden and came to MN. when he was just a 3 year old boy in 1867. Rumor has it that he
may have come to this country with some folks who are not his parents.
Thanks for your help!

Elaine is absolutely right -- the procedure wasn't formalized until the
20th century. In the time period Tom is talking about, the country wanted
settlers, so they weren't terribly fussy about info on the individual's
background. There are some wonderful records from the old St. Croix County,
Minnesota Territory, that have a lot of detail on 262 people who came earlier.
The second important point is that any court could be used. The records
that Conrad Peterzen of the Iron Range Research Center has be
