Several St. Clair County courts issued declaration and naturalization papers. An index to the first 3 of 19 volumes (1906-1945) has been made available for free online:


 * Index to Declarations and Naturalizations, Circuit Court 1906 - c1945, St. Clair County, Illinois, courtesy: St. Clair County Genealogical Society.

"An important find in this particular record collection is that all the Volume 3 document sets were filed in St Clair County Circuit Court convened in East St Louis, not the county seat at Belleville, presumably because of the sheer number of residents there and for their convenience."

Pre-1906 naturalizations have suffered heavy record loss, see Record Loss.
