Helen, one question. I was unaware of the 1830 notation for NA/AL, however after taking a look at the image of someone I know , that question is on the BOTTOM of the ORIGINAL form, or, as we look at it on Ancestry.com, on the NEXT page. But it seems only to summarize the Aliens on the top of the page, not indicating who of those listed on the top of the page is indeed the alien, correct?

Hi lists, On one of the mailing lists I subscribe too, questions about immigration & citizenship have been coming up often. So, I thought I would do an outline on this topic & post it: Have you searched the Census Records to find out when someone came into the US & whether they were Naturalized or Alien? 1830 Census -- under White Persons: 1. ALIENS - Foreigners not Naturalized. 1900 Census -- under Citizenship: 1. Gives year of Immigration to the US. 2. Number of years in the US. 3. Naturalization. 1910 Census -- under Citizenship: 1. Gives year of Immigration to the US. 2. Whether Naturalized or Alien. 1920 Census -- under Citizenship: 1. Gives year of Immigration to the US. 2. Naturalized or Alien. 3. If Naturalized, year of naturalization 1930 Census -- under Citizenship: 1. Gives year of Immigration to the US. 2. Naturalized or Alien. The above info will help you find out when someone entered the US & whether they became a citizen! Helen M.
