Can someone do a census lookup for me on Ancestry.com?

Question

I would be ever so grateful. Looking for info from the 1930 census on Joseph Pecorella of Rochester, New York, USA, County of Monroe. He would be the head of household about age 30. Specifically, I would like to know the year it says he became a naturalized citizen. If you can help me, that would be great!!

Answer 1

The record shows that he was naturalized, but the year isn't listed. It does give his date of immigration as 1918. The law at the time mandated that they live in the US for 5 years before being naturalized. So I can narrow it down that he was naturalized between 1923 and 1930. His wife arrived in the country in 1921 and was also naturalized. So hers happened between 1926 and 1930. Both were also married at the age of 23 and were 30 at the time, so her Declaration of Intent and Naturalization Petition would have been filed under her married name. The New York State Archives or the National Archives Records Center for the State of New York will have the Declarations of Intent and Naturalization petitions for them both.
