I can't believe someone would throw out old naturalization records. How sad. I guess some people don't think about it like we do.

Jefferson Parish. No one at the court knows what you are talking about.
One clerk told me if I don't have a docket number they couldn't find
it even though I had the volume and page number from the WPA card index.
I asked lawyers and experienced researchers for help but even they
couldn't break through the barriers. A friend who worked part time in
the court house for years recently told me that one of the former clerks
threw out all the naturalization records a few years ago when they were
cleaning up.

There is a reference in the state court index for Pierce Grace noting that the record is filed in the minute book of the Third Jucicial District Court on October 18, 1847. That Court was in Jefferson Parish at that time and the record books should still be in the Jefferson Parish. I am not sure if it is at the Library or at the Courthouse.
