Return of the New York Naturalization Originals
Today we released the New York, Naturalization Records, 1897-1944, Part 2 project. As we reviewed the records in the original project we found many records that were missclassified – having keyed many of these image sets I know that it could be difficult to determine whether we were to key a record or not. We have made a few adjustments to the instructions most notably condensing the Petition form types from 3 varieties down to 1.
