Citizenship Records Question

Legg inn av DartmanX » 13 feb 2005 18:29:51

On the 1900 census, I have a James H Connor listed as a Permanent
Alien, who emmigrated approximately 1864.

Would there be any paperwork filed as to his status as a permanent
alien that I could request? Obviously, he wouldn't have a C-File...

I'm assuming you mean in the US since you don't specify a country.
Certainly today the Permanent Resident Alien status exists and I have an
'A' file with the INS. I'm pretty sure that Immigration and
Naturalization ore it's forerunners would always have been responsible
for such records.

If he's referring to
CONNOR JAMES H 62 M W IREL PA LACKAWANNA 4-WD SCRANTON 1900
I would caution that "Pa" stands for Papers Applied, i.e. that he had filed
his First Papers for naturalization, but had not completed the process.
Those should be on file with the county court where he applied.

Alien, who emmigrated approximately 1864.

I am unaware of any census images which indicate an individual is a
"permanent alien." If you are referring to "PA" in Column 18, here is the
definition from the enumerators instructions for census year 1900.

"Column 18. Naturalization. -- If the person is a native of the United
States, leave the column blank. If he was born abroad, and has taken no
steps toward becoming an American citizen, write "Al" (for alien). If he
has declared his intention to become an American citizen and taken out his
"first" papers, write "Pa" (for papers). If he has become a full citizen by
taking out second or final papers of naturalization, write "Na" (for
naturalized)."

First, second or final papers should be on file at either the county
courthouse or federal courthouse.

My mistake... I thought Pa meant he was a resident alient (i.e.
Permanent Alien).

Thanks for the help!
