County Naturalization Index

This Naturalization Index lists 8,000 individuals naturalized in Santa Clara County courts from 1850 to 1934. Each entry may include the name of the person naturalized, their nationality, the date of admission, the court in which they were naturalized, and a book and page reference.

The Archives does not hold any naturalization records, which are in the custody of the Santa Clara County Superior Court at 191 N. First Street, San Jose. The County's Declarations of Intention from 1850 to 1930 have been microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, and the microfilm should be available through Family History Centers. A copy of the microfilm also may be viewed at the California State Archives in Sacramento.
