U.S. Content Update: Selected U.S. Naturalization Records – Original Documents, 1790-1974
Over the weekend we rolled one new database and several fixes to existing databases:
New Database
Selected U.S. Naturalization Records – Original Documents, 1790-1974
In an effort to get these records out to you sooner rather than later, we have released the images with a light index including name, state, record type, court type, court, court location, naturalization number, roll description and archive series. To capture the remaining rich information (birth date and place, country of origin, parents, occupation, residence, etc.), these records will soon be released to the World Archives Project.
This release includes the states of New York, Pennsylvania and California. Soon to be added to this database are the states of South Carolina, Louisiana, Colorado, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine.
Once World Archives Project indexing is complete, these records will be merged together with the other completed originals (U.S. Naturalization Records – Original Documents)
Updated Databases
U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946
Errors with the occupation and state codes have been fixed.
U.S. City Directories & U.S. School Yearbooks
Truncation of very long entries in these databases were fixed.
Stay tuned for the next U.S. Content Update. Some really good stuff is on the way for February!
If you don’t blog on server downtime issues (which also affected UK, and AU ancestry access in this instance) can someone “microblog” the fact that the system will be going down and up via your existing twitter account? http://twitter.com/Ancestrydotcom
Other companies do this, and that way users following their twitter statuses are in the know: http://twitter.com/Dropbox/status/940188662
That would be very reasonable and go a long way to defuse customers.
I TRYED YOUR PAGE ON THE 14 DAY FREE AND HAD TO GIVE ONE OF MY CARD NUMBERS AND AFTER 14 DAYS I WOULD BE CHARGED IF I WONTED TO KEEP IT… AFTER 3 DAYS OF NOT FINDING ANYTHING I TOLD THEM NO AND DO NOT CHARGE ME ,,,AND NOW I GOT CHARDED ON MY CARD AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO GET IT OFF ,,,,,,,,,,,I HEED HELP
Chris were did Ancestry get the index for the US naturalization records original documents? why is it difference from the one footnote.com has?and why can you NOT put in a correction on the name in this database?and why one can NOT attach the record to a person in one’s tree?
You being over U.S. content why in the South Carolina Death Records, 1821-1955
is JACK MATTHEW LEDFORD born 1 June 1930 index as
Name: Jack M Ledford
Death Date: 30 Jul 1947
Age at Death: 17 years
Born: 1930
Gender: Male
Color: White
County of Death: Greenville
Certificate Number: 008739
if you were looking for him as MATTHEW you would not find him. Looking at the image his name is JACK MATTHEW LEDFORD, born 1 JUNE 1930 why is it Not indexed as so?and why are the mother and father not listed in the index like the NORTH CAROLINA DEATH RECORDS. so why is so much info left out of the index when it is there in the image. the search engine is only as good as the index being searched this is why it is hard to find anything on Ancestry.com.
Chris, Please tell me there is going to be more U. S. State information coming. Over the past 4 months or more,anything having to do with vital information or other for states has been slim pickins. Up until a couple of years ago it was equal for World information and state information and spread out over the year, now it is just bits and pieces for one and more content for the other in concentrated form over several months.
How can I merge my data from Family Tree Maker and the data from Ancestry.com?
Also, how do I separate trees after they have become “connected?”
“Soon to be added to this database are the states of South Carolina, Louisiana, Colorado, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine.”
Will all 50 states eventually be included in the Nationalization Records database?
Also..
“U.S. content coming soon:
- Several State Censuses
- More Land Ownership Maps”
Is there any word on which states will be included in these collections? Thanks.
Here you will find informational, and sometimes fun, posts from the folks behind the scenes here at Ancestry.com. We hope you’ll notice just how passionate we are about family history and about the products we’re building to help connect families over distance and time.

So after all the problems at the weekend the ancestry blog has finally been updated and all we are told is, “Over the weekend we rolled one new database and a few fixes to existing databases:” There is not a word of apology and explanation about the site being down for hours on Saturday. Really you people at ancestry do need to start being a bit more considerate to us the paying users.
