Before 1907, naturalization
could be in any court of record, trial or appellate, or before the U.S.
Attorney
General. There were many naturalizations in the state courts and the
federal courts sitting in PA at both the trial and appellate levels.
Post-1906,
naturalizations are
confined to the Attorney General
and courts of record of general jurisdiction, meaning the highest trial
courts in the area.
8 US Code
section 1421 was
changed again in 1988 to provide
that the US Attorney General is the naturalizing authority, and that
the
AG is authorized to delegate the authority to administer the oath of
citizen-
ship to any US District Court and to any court of record of general
juris-
diction in any state or territory.

In some states (PA for one) a Bonus was granted to World War
I and
World War II veterans returning to their home state. PA [and other
states as well] has these applications for bonuses at their State
Archives. Other states may have similar records.
The service number is also shown on these State Bonus Applications
[However, Bonuses were paid by many jurisdictions. Veterans were
usually required to furnish a copy of separation papers but not always.
The biggest problem here is that a great many veterans never applied.]
The VA may or may not have a service number because it isn't needed.
The VA assign their own file numbers.
You can send a request to the Pennsylvania State Archives for WWI Bonus
Applications. Although the site only references WWII, you may receive a
copy of the application.
Mail requests require a $15 fee.
WWI veterans were to receive their bonuses 17 years after the war;
briefly said, protested and finally marched on Washington during the
Depression, were finally granted their bonuses in 1934. |

Naturalizations |
From July 4,1776
time until
the ratification of the Constitution, naturalizations
were carried out by each state according to its own rules.
After ratification of the Constitution, the laws regarding
naturalization
were promulgated by the central government although any court of record
could naturalize someone in accordance with the central government's
rules.
In the early 20th century, all naturalizations were taken over by the
central government.
Before July 4,1776, foreign
immigrants who wanted to be naturalized swore
allegiance to the King of England.
Around the time of the
Revolutionary War, each colony had their own
naturalization
laws. In PA, if you served in the military you could bypass the
Declaration
of Intent step (this was also true if you arrived as a minor), but
still had
to go through the final process for naturalization certificate. |
