What would a "UN" mean if that is entered in the "Naturalization date" box on the '1920 census' document... I was thinking it might mean 'unknown' , but somewhere else said it meant UN Naturalized. But the box next to it has the "NA" which means 'Naturalized' ... Ahhh, LOL!!! I am confused now
This video provided a ton of information. Thank you for doing it. I do have one question on the 1922 law that changed for women. Did it also chance for minor children? If my grandfather naturalized in 1931, would my mother (who was still in Italy and came here in 1933 at age 12) have derivative citizenship status from her father?
The rule changed for children born abroad at about the same time, I believe. After they became 18, they would have had to apply for citizenship independent of their parents.
@@CristaCowan Thank you! Have you done other youtube videos? If so, where can I find them? As you probably figured out, I'm researching for my Italian citizenship and still have questions. Thanks!
if you have lots of EU ancestors then use upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Territorial-changes-of-Poland-1635-2009-small.gif to see all of the border changes. For instance in 1920 say part of russia was poland, so they list the birth as poland, but then in 1930 it changes and says its something else because the borders have changed. I reccomend looking at all your documents and creating a doc with bullet points and say stuff like "marriage in 1893 birth listed as russia" and "1940 census lists birth as austria," etc. Then once you have your documents written on the doc then use the site and screenshot what your area looked like when the census or marriage record was taken. I hope you know what I mean, its helped me a lot ")
Ya I use that too, it’s a big help! All my moms side is Eastern European, and I’m 54% Eastern European so those websites are a big help. I’m really having issues with my Lithuanian ancestors tbh
We're glad you enjoyed the video!

I have an entire playlist of videos on the Ancestry RUclips channel. You can find it here: ancstry.me/TBGVids (~Crista)
@@AncestryUS Got it. Thanks.
Of course, there is always the issue with courthouse fires. There will be one in every family tree.
We not only have a courthouse fire in our tree, but we also had a fire at the local newspaper that wiped out their archives for the same time period.
