The depositions, which describe how long the witness had known the applicant and confirm his moral character, were then bound in with the petition and other forms. Correspondence is sometimes included, usually from the Bureau of Naturalization, detailing changes in naturalization law and procedures. Occassionally court orders revoking citizenship are included. The series was begun at statehood in 1896 when Juab County moved to the fifth judicial district, and the district courts began keeping records separately in each county. In 1977, the county was moved to the fourth judicial district.
Entries are chronological by petition date.
Volumes have been arranged in chronological order, by volume and petition number after 1906. The minutes for the District Court will also discuss the naturalization hearings in more detail. Some declarations of intention for those whose naturalization papers are filed here may have been recorded in other series. Until 1906 Juab County residents could have filed them in any county. Consult the series catalog for specific series.
