Russell County Declarations of Intentions
Lying loose on top of the file cabinets in the Russell Coounty records room are a
few small books with Declarations of Intentions of persons wishing to become
citizens of the United States. The books aren't in very good shape. Some of the
writing is a little difficult to make out. Rather than writing each one out
completely, a blank form has been used to save space. The book from 1937 - 1941
has only 9 entries, however, some of the other books have 100 entries each. One
book has some records where they were approved for citizenship and has a picture
of them in it. Most of the people listed are immigrants that came to Dante,
VA to work in the coal mines, however, some were merchants. Each book will be
loaded up as it is completed. Thanks to Judy
Dye Ring for her submission of these files.
