Series 85180

DESCRIPTION: This series contains stubs for certificates of citizenship issued by the court to newly naturalized citizens. The court clerk was responsible for sending the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization in Washington D.C. a duplicate of the certificate, "and to make and keep on file in his office a stub for each certificate so issued by him, whereon shall be entered a memorandum of all the essecntial facts set forth in such certificate." (Naturalization Act of June 29, 1906, Sec. 12, p. 117 in the Compiled Laws of Utah 1907. Charles S. Tingey, 1908, Salt Lake City.)

The preprinted stub forms were in volumes issued by the Bureau of Naturalization.The status of stubs kept from 1928 to 1930 is uncertain. After 1930, the stubs were attached to the NATURALIZATION RECORDS. The series was begun when Juab County was in the fifth judicial district; in 1977, the county was moved to the fourth judicial district.

ARRANGEMENT: The stubs are arranged by certificate number and volume number. Volume 44889 was microfilmed out of sequence and follows volume 41366 in the container list. The certificate numbers were usually issued in chronological order, however two volumes (30059 and 30204) which should have been used in mid-1919, were not used until 1925-1926; thus the 1925-1926 dates appear in the middle of the 1919 listings.

RELATED RECORDS: This series acts as an index to two others. The volumes cited for DECLARATIONS OF INTENTION RECORD BOOKS are those in series 85108, if issued by the same court; otherwise they are usually filed with the petition. The volumes cited for petitions of naturalization and order of admission as a citizen are those in the NATURALIZATION RECORD BOOKS, series 85178.

FINDING AIDS: An index is available.

PROCESSING NOTE: The series was microfilmed by the county clerk in 1985. Archival processing was completed in 1989 by A.C. Cone.
