Generally, it is not worth the time and effort to search each reel for
the unindexed period because he place with probably be "Ireland." The
Naturalization papers used in Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Boston have
greater detail than those found in other Courts before 1906. The 1820,
1830, 1870, 1900, 1910, and 1920 Federal censuses all have categories
indicating citizenship status. The 1920 census is the only one that
gives the actual year of naturalization.
Good luck,
Ellen
