Seeking what a 1860s naturalization paper looks like

Dear Ms. Truex,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

Naturalization forms utilized by courts were not standardized until after the 1906 Naturalization Act, so the terminology and appearance vary drastically depending on the court(s) involved.  In the 1860s the naturalization proceeding could occur at any court of record (county, criminal, Federal, etc).

Here are some examples:

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
