Message Board Post:
Before 1906, the declaration of intent generally contains
more genealogically useful information than the petition.
Petitions before 1906 usually show only a name, former
allegiance, and date of naturalization.
The declaration may include the alien's exact date of immigration into the United
States so it is still useful as it may narrow your search for that passenger list.
For a Resource Guide to the records, also some ONLINE records, see
http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/
Read the intro (it explains what is available) then choose your state of interest.
The link to online Indiana Naturalization Records is here
http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/in_onlinedb.shtml but you really should not skip over
the intro and explanation
Good luck
