Hello Belinda

You need to narrow that 9 year timeframe for their
immigration.

First -- have you hunted for them in the 1870 census? If
they are found, great, you have narrowed your search by a
bit. If they are NOT found, even better because then you've
really narrowed your search.

You can read more about the value of census records in
your
search for an immigrant ancestor at
http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/census.shtml

Next -- he 1900, 1910 ,1920 and 1930 census identify
citizenship status, with notations showing the individual
was an Alien, or had started the Naturalization process or
had his final papers. The year of immigration is also
shown. 1920 also nicely provides a year of naturalization.

And that's another avenue of research for you to pursue
(naturalization records)

There are great clues in the 1870 census too!
If your ancestor has a check mark in the column "Male
Citizens of the United States of twenty-one years of age
and upwards" you have a clue that naturalization took
place before 1870 :-)

records see
