The 1920 Census has very important information pertaining to the year a person came to the U.S. and the year they were naturalized. If the person was naturalized from 1906 on, they had a detailed form to fill out. This form asked what village or town they were born in; date and port of departure and arrival; name of ship; town and date wife and children were born in; date and place of marriage. Also included, is a picture of the person at time of citizenship. Two forms were usually required to be filled out. One is a Declaration of Intent to become a citizen. The other one is filled out about five years later for a petition of final citizenship. These forms could be kept at two different courthouses.
There were instances that the foreign-born did not get the question on the census filled out noted as being AL or Aliens: citizenship before 1906
If you have problems finding the records that you are trying to locate, the following may be the reasons why:
- Some of the foreign born did not get the question on the census filled out.
- They were noted as AL or aliens.
- They got citizenship before 1906.
- The women have the same year of naturalization as their husbands, which probably means that the women were a citizen by marrying the husband. If the husband died, the wife had to become a citizen to retain citizenship.
- The papers may have been already filed
- May have gotten naturalized in other counties or states.
- Those marked alien have not applied for naturalization, and may eventually apply after 1920.
PA = Pending naturalization application at the court house.
