Sorry, my grandmother married in 1915. This will teach me to post when I am tired. Just checked the photocopies. She was naturalized a US citizen in 1932 and my grandfather was naturalized in 1934. My grandfather came to the States when he was 4 and of course my grandmother was born here. -- Susie B and the Thundering Herd: Rambo, Miss Kitty, Rocky and Tabitha Low cost spay/neuter: SPAY USA 1-800-248-7729 Friends of Animals 1-800-321-7387 Susie B <susie314b+nanae@justREMOVEtheCAPS.net.invalid>
