Naturalization records are found in the records of different courts. Different courts processed immigration over time. In order to understand court jurisdiction over time, see Owen C. Coy,Phd, Guide to the County Archives of California, Calif. Hist. Survey Comm., Sacramento, 1919.

Briefly: In Nevada County, the presiding courts progressed from District and County courts in the 1850s - 1860s to the Nevada County Superior Court in the 1880s and beyond.
