Could SKS look up the Henry Cooper family for me in an 1900, 1910, and 1920 census that may be available to you. They were on Dexter St. Providence about 1900 according to old family letters etc. Wife's name Susan, possible children at home Robert, Ada, Jenny, Alroy, Henry Jr.......maybe others. All but the youngest should show as born in England. Ada was my grandmother, and she married about 1904 to Joseph H. Fenner. Just beginning research on this family, my mother's line. Would appreciate any info anyone may have. I believe they came over from England in 1880's or 90's. Many thanks, and blessings to all in the New Year. Jean CLARK Hogan ~ in Illinois

Don't know about then, but do know that in the 1960's when there was a draft, a male resident alien of draft age was subject to the draft after only 6 months in this country , and could be drafted just as any male citizen would.

Dick, Thanks. It makes sense to me now. I was trying to put the Na date to the year of immigration! Duhhhh!!! Do you think that anyone who served in the Civil War had to be a citizen? If so, that might help me find my GGGrandfathers's naturalization process. Thanks again, Bob..

One more note Bob, The naturalization papers usually only indicated that he was giving up his alllegiance to the King/Queen of his native country and maybe his sponsor name. But his petition for naturalization may include when he came over, on what ship and what part of his native country he was from. (I said "may include") Don't believe it was mandatory for this to be included.

Bob, Na. means he has completed the naturalization process and is a citizen. Al is alien, meaning no process for citizenship has been initiated. Pa means petition applied for. In the naturalization process, a person applied for a petition for citizenship, then later the naturealization papers were applied for. Blank is blank I guess. Normally a wife and minor children became citizens when the husband/father did. On the census the columns for yr of immig. and number of years have nothing to do with the naturalization process. One could, for example, file a petition of application in R.I. and move to another state at a later date and complete the process.
