Thanks Guy and Ernest and Don, for your very pertinent replies. My query is on behalf of someone who does not belong to this group (maybe they will join?). Ernest, I do remember the Jamaica naturalizations you mention - one of my people is in there. I will pass all on to the pertinent person and hope they will find all useful. I certainly did not know the process of naturalization was such at that time. Very useful to know! Thank you very much, Tian
