Common Census Abbreviations
http://genealogy.about.com/cs/census/a/abbreviations.htm

No matter where in the world they are taken, census schedules usually offer
very little room. Therefore, census takers often found it necessary to use
abbreviations to get all of the required information onto the census form.
These abbreviations - ranging from Na for naturalized to AdD for adopted
daughter -- can provide important information that you should not overlook!

Examples:

Citizenship Status Codes:
Al - Alien (not naturalized)
Pa - First papers filed (declaration of intent)
Na - Naturalized
NR - Not recorded or not reported

Household & Soundex Abbreviations:
Ad - Adopted Ad
AdCl - Adopted Child
AdD - Adopted Daughter
