Collection of Naturalization Cards from Saint Louis

The Saint Louis Genealogical Society now has online a collection of naturalization cards from Saint Louis, Missouri, 1816-1906. This collection includes over 93,000 records and is available at http://stlgs.org/NatSearch.aspx .

The cards are for naturalizations that took place in Saint Louis courts. They may be searched by name, address, country, the year naturalized, and the last name of the witness. You may also do a soundex search.

I did a search for the last name of Schwartz and got 51 results. Results come in a table that includes name, country, year naturalized, and sometimes names of first and/or second witness. If you click on the first name of the person, you get a form that shows the name, country, full date of naturalization, and location of the original records. There are also spaces on the result form for address, notes, and card notations, but for the most part those were not populated on the records I looked at.

Each result also has a nifty button called "What Do I Do Now?" which points searchers to places where they can get the original records offline.
