I would think, that for women, naturalization would only be an issue when the vote for women came in, and therefore other rights. Thoat would have been 1920.

Jo,
Did your grandmother apply for US citizenship? Was she married when she
came to the US?
Depending on the year she applied, and when she came if she were already
married, she may have automatically become a US citizen via her husband's
becoming a citizen. You can do a search to see if she has a US
naturalization on
file in NY. If there is one, apply for a copy. The application will tell
specifically where in Ireland she came (at least the county) and generally
has
some info on her parents. What information is on the application depends
on
the year she applied.
Thank you, Maureen -- I used that website and found what I THINK may be her
papers. I have sent for a copy. I found out from her death certificate that
she WAS a US citizen at the time of her death in 1947. The date of her papers
is 1929. Thank you for your help. JO Ryan
