Naturalization Records
The RCGS database contains the digitized naturalization records from Riley County U.S. District Court Records from 1859-1943; from Geary County 1865–1944; and Wabaunsee County 1865-1929. Search options are divided into declarations of intentions, petitions, and final papers. Rules of naturalization changed over the years and all three categories were not consistently used, so search “all records” for the best results. An explanation of the naturalization process over time is found on the Family Search United States Naturalization and Citizenship page. Source information for the record is found in the description area under the name.
