Eastside Genealogical Society presents:

Finding Females in Naturalization Records, 1790-1952

Our speaker: Nancy Loe
Thursday, February 12, 2026
Networking and announcements at 6:30 pm Pacific; program at 7:00 pm
Via Zoom

About our speaker: Nancy Loe is a professional genealogist and archivist with decades of experience. As a presenter, she specializes in search strategies, information management, and U.S. and European research and records, speaking at conferences and webinars in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Her personal family history research led her to visit all eight European birthplaces of her great-grandparents, in Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Austria, and Prussia (Poland).

About our program: Whether you’re missing a naturalization record or finding an unexpected one, this session helps you discover how female ancestors— both foreign-born and birthright— gained, lost, or regained citizenship in the United States between 1790 and 1952.

US citizenship and attendant rights for women could be fragile, depending on marital status, prevailing laws, social norms, and other shifting factors. Examples of US naturalization and citizenship records, and search strategies for finding these records are featured in this presentation.

Everyone is welcome—we hope you will join us.
