Immigration and Naturalization Records Lookup Help
« on: Saturday 07 July 12 16:59 BST (UK) »
I am looking for David Chess, who appears to have immigrated to Allegheny County, PA, from Ireland around 1807.  His wife was Ann, also called Nancy, but I am unsure if they were married prior to immigration.  Thanks for any assistance you can offer!

Hi Bill,

The immigration and naturalization information is held by the genealogy society
for a fee, as outlined at their website:

Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society
http://www.wpgs.org/research.htm

David Chess - Year 1807
Reference: Vol 1, page 18


Otherwise, the information is held at the county courthouse level
as described here:

Good luck in your research.
