Prior to women getting the right to vote in 1920? a woman automatically became a citizen when she married a citizen. If she later divorced or became a widow, and married a non-citizen, she would then revert to alien status. There would be no records denoting the change. Times have changed.

Wow! What a question! For example; My grandmother came from Sweden as a young lady and then married my grandfather , who was also from Sweden. He became a citizen just before they were married. Would there be anything that she would have to sign besides a marriage cert. to let the govt. know that she was no longer an alien? I am hoping that there is. Maybe it would tell me the port and ship that she came on. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks a lot, Karen Walk
