Pat, At ancestry.com you can zoom in (or out) to view images more clearly by clicking on the PLUS or MINUS magnifying glass in the toolbar directly above the image. The 1880 census did not gather immigration data. The 1900 census enumerates a druggist named Daniel Ryan in San Francisco. The image is quite faint in the area containing immigration year for this individual, but I believe the year is 1873. This Daniel Ryan was born Jan/Jun 1843 and lives at 3407 Mission. His wife Emeline is from Canada. Their children are Daniel (Oct. 1889) and Rose (Aug 1891).

I found this on the Ancestry site but as the writing is so small I have difficulty in reading it. My query is this - can anybody tell me whether he is a naturalized citizen and if this is the case how do I go about obtaining a copy of the certificate to check if this could be a relative of mine. The entry reads Daniel Ryon single male aged 35 from Ireland occupation Drugist. Thanks for any help received.
