Ralph Nevy Naturalization Papers

From Joan Lander: Just received in the mail a photocopy of Ralph Nevy’s 1920 naturalization record. It was at the courthouse in Cumberland all along. They also have Ralph Nevy’s 1915 Declaration of Intention, but we already have a better copy of that record from the Cambria County Courthouse, Ebensburg, PA.

Also note that the naturalization date I previously found on ship passenger records turns out to be NOT correct. So keep that in mind when you review those passenger lists on the website.

Here is where I obtained the naturalization record:

Dawne D. Lindsey
Clerk of the Circuit Court for Allegany County
30 Washington Street
Cumberland, MD 21502
Ph. (301) 777-5923
