Herkimer County, New York Naturalizations
Does anyone know if there are researchers or a volunteer who could do a look up on the Declarations of intention index, 1821-1879 for naturalizations in Herkimer County, New York? The records are digitized but the index is not. The index is item 4 on film number 1023192. My ancestor is Owen Hughes, born about 1800 in Wales. He lived in Oneida and Herkimer counties circa 1830-1880.

Currently the Library is not doing lookups, the intent is that soon they would startup. I will watch and when I hear of starting I will contact you.

Thank you, Michael. I found it! The Herkimer County New York clerk's office has an online index of their holdings. I will be able to contact them for both Owen's declaration of intent and naturalization record.
However I have not found Owen Hughes on the 1850 Federal or 1855 New York State census. His wife Ann was living with son, Richard in 1850 Herkimer County but Owen was not present. He was back in the area by 1860. I've tried alternate and soundex spellings without luck.
