Common Census Abbreviations http://genealogy.about.com/cs/census/a/abbreviations.htm No matter where in the world they are taken, census schedules usually offer very little room. Therefore, census takers often found it necessary to use abbreviations to get all of the required information onto the census form. These abbreviations - ranging from Na for naturalized to AdD for adopted daughter -- can provide important information that you should not overlook! Examples: Citizenship Status Codes: Al - Alien (not naturalized) Pa - First papers filed (declaration of intent) Na - Naturalized NR - Not recorded or not reported Household & Soundex Abbreviations: Ad - Adopted Ad AdCl - Adopted Child AdD - Adopted Daughter Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is never to have died."
