[Genealib] Announcement: Naturalization Index Published for Los Angeles County

[Paula Hinkel]

The Southern California Genealogical Society is proud to announce the
publication of a new three-volume series:  The Naturalization Index of the
Superior Court for Los Angeles County, California 1852-1915.

The index includes mention of every "naturalization transaction"
(Declaration of Intent, Final Papers, denials, etc.) for each alien that
occured in Los Angeles County Superior court. The index includes more than
40,000 entries, with close to 27,000 unique names and more than 350
countries or combinations of countries or origin, i.e., Hungary-Canada-Great
Britain.  The three volumes are available for purchase separately or as a
three-volume set. The publication can be ordered through the SCGS website
shopping cart at www.scgsgenealogy.com/catalog.

This series is the first tangible output of SCGS's 1890 Project.  The goal
of the 1890 Project is to account for all of the individuals -- fathers,
mothers, children, lodgers, residents and visitors -- who would have been
enumerated on the 1890 U.S. census for Los Angeles County. This project is a
legacy for all future genealogists and historians of the Los Angeles area.
