I have been doing some naturalization research on a great grandfather on my mothers side, Angelo Tomaino. I was only able to find
this one document (see attached)
It came from a Warren County Pennsylvania naturalization catalog on Familysearch
Alien docket v. 4 1890-1897 Index to alien docket v. 5 1897-1906 Alien docket v. 5 1897-1906
Normally you see first papers / petitions for naturalization documents, but this is different. Read the document really closely (he is on the upper left quadrant of the document)
If you look at the top it has a file date of 9/4/1897 and begins talking about a declaration.
It then says...and now March 5 1900 petition of....
I am assuming that his "Official" naturalization date was 3/5/1900. But just wanted to get others opinion...
1) Do you think they would have filled out the first part (the declaration part) and then when
he returned years later to submit his petition they would have filled out the second part?
I just haven't had any experience with these alien documents and would be curious on your thoughts.
