Introduction
The Clerk of Court in Webster County, IA no longer has the old naturalizations records
for the public. The original records are stored in the Webster County Genealogical
Society in Fort Dodge, Ia. The Society has created four index books covering the
records in our possession.
Some of these were filmed in 1984 by the Genealogy Society of Utah, Latter Day Saints.
The following is their film numbers, which may be ordered at their Family History
Centers, and what each film contains, these are US/CAN films:
