Go to the Immigration and Naturalization web site (www.ins.usdog.gov) and look for a discussion of the rules. Before 1906, wives and minor children automatically became citizens when the husband/father became naturalized. Check with your local and state library to see if they have an index of naturalizations/immigrations. You didn't mention your state, but the Superior Public Library, Superior WI has been tremendously helpful to me. In so far as arrival in the US from Sweden, if you provide me with her soundex code, name, and anything else you know about date of arrival, port, ship, who she may have traveled with, destination, I may be able to check records for you the next time I go to the National Archives.
