"foreigners not naturalized". That makes sense to me...someone from another country living in the USA but not a citizen of the USA. I know..I did this for about 5 years...then became a US citizen. I think the column is used for exactly what it says. djs On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 15:34:33 -0600 "Mark Allen" <mallen@cpusearch.com> writes: > Surname: BODKIN/BOTKIN > > The 1820 census has six age categories for males, > then six age categories for females, then a column > for "foreigners not naturalized" then columns for > persons engaged in agriculture, commerce and > manufacture. > > I have a conflict with what I know verses the number > listed "foreigners not naturalized".

Thanks Doris, I agree it makes sense especially in 1820 when there would have been so many people with ties to other countries outside the colonies. The problem we're having is that the number listed is more than there should be for the two families we're working on.
