    The Works Progress Administration produced copies of naturalization records for individuals who filed in Federal, state, and local courts in New York from 1790 to 1906, which are contained in this series. The petitions for naturalization originated in various courts, including but not limited to, the New York Court of Common Pleas, the Supreme Court of New York County, the New York County Superior Court, and the County Courts of Kings and Queens Counties. Early petitions for naturalization contained less information than those filed after 1906, but still recorded the petitioner’s name, age, place of birth, occupation, date and place of emigration, as well as date and place of arrival in the United States.
