Records are scattered through seven different city and county courts. The petitions between 1794 and 1880 for all courts except the Quarter Session Court are indexed as part of the general W.P.A. Index of Naturalizations, republished as Philadelphia Naturalization Records. There is a separate index of Quarter Session Court petitions available at the City Archives. There are no petitions filed in any city or county court between 1906 and 1914. Deeds often connect family members in their recitals, especially in matters of partition of estates, family members selling amongst one another, or in the settlement of an estate.
