The actor underwent the traditional test that he sought help to the Parisian jeweler, Robert Mazlo, to assist him with the ring for his future wife. Thus, Olivier had to answer seven questions about colors, numbers, and shapes of the actress' favorite. Robert deciphered information, resulting in a beautiful gold and emerald ring.
"Olivier was delighted with the outcome," said a source close to the magazine U.S. Weekly.
Although not yet confirmed when and where they exchange vows, Paris will probably be the place chosen for the ceremony.
"We still have not taken a decision, but it is likely to take place in Paris. This is the first wedding of Olivier and would love to be held in his city," revealed the source.
However, this will be the third time for the actress, who in the past was married to baseball player, David Justice and singer, Eric Benet. Also, Halle has a three-year-old daughter with her prior relationship with Gabriel Aubry.

American "Overreaction" To Recall Is Winning Toyota Sympathy At Home
Apparently the Stateside uproar over the recall of 8 million Toyotas — and worries that the company may be attempting to conceal potential defects — has had the inverse effect in the car company's homeland. According to a new report, the Japanese public thinks America is overreacting to the situation.
"When Japanese see this excessive reaction happening in the U.S., they feel pity for Toyota," explains Takashi Takeda of advertising biggie DDB Worldwide. "Recalls always happen. Trust for Toyota is huge in this market and was not built overnight."
Here in the states, most Toyota commercials are nothing more than 30-second apologias for the recall. But in Japan, it's been a much more don't-ask-don't-tell approach.
"It's an example of cultures colliding. The average consumer in Japan is not reacting in the same way and marketing professionals here are a bit daunted by the proactive role that America's government has had," said Chris Beaumont, a Tokyo-based branding consultant and a marketing professor at Tokyo University.
"People here are surprised at how visible the recall has been and wonder, 'If Toyota is hurt, is Japan Inc. hurt?'" Mr. Beaumont said. "To what extent will Japan be affected adversely rather than just Toyota?"
It's basically just the Japanese version of the old bromide, "What's good for General Motors is good for the country."
"There is concern that if Toyota's problems do not improve, the recovery pace of Japan's economy will slow down, too," Mr. Takeda said. "We see U.S. nationalism at work."

My name is Sam Redlark. I am a carrier of the LonB gene which enables me to perceive parts of London that exist outside of the normal human sensory range. This blog is an account of the Capital as I experience it. I hope that my writing here will encourage those who find themselves in London, whether it is as a visitor, or as a resident, to seek a deeper appreciation of their surroundings. You don't need to be a LonB carrier to experience the best of the city. All you need to do is open your senses to what is around you.
Beamer, Mayblush, Ragsail, Nersha
Over the Christmas holidays something made me take Whybrow's Weather Systems of London down from the shelf. A strange book; the core text was published by an amateur meteorologist - George Whybrow - in 1864 and was supplemented over a century later by one of his descendents – the literary agent Martin Whybrow. My copy is a hardbound, first edition of the 1984 version.
The book fell open naturally a few pages into a chapter describing the four winds of London. A shallow rectangular depression marked the top of the pages, where a bookmark had lain long enough to put down foundations. I sat with it resting on my lap and read the words of Whybrow Senior:
"Beamer blows from the north, stirring the dormant embers in the fire piles of Highgate and Hampstead – the mounds of ash that fortify the heathland. Its bite is a reminder to all Londoners to guard themselves from the impending snows. In November the rekindled fires are carried down into the city to mark the onset of the metropolitan winter, when every household is advised to keep an extra flame against the cold."
Underneath this fanciful passage there is a short piece by Martin Whybrow recounting the time when, aged 12, he was taken by his father to see the Beamer flame on the final stage of its journey through the city to The Guildhall. Here it is used to light a beacon whose ignition signifies the beginning of winter in the capital.
After the lighting ceremony was over, Whybrow was taken to a pub across the road where he was given a Lemon Terry – a warming alcoholic cocktail, which he described as a syrupy yellow cough medicine in a martini glass. He awoke the following morning with Chicken Pox and claims the incident left him with a life-long aversion to alcohol.
A couple of days later I was standing on one side of a pedestrian crossing with Brian Borrie. We were waiting for the lights to change so that we could cross over Kensington High Street to Holland Park. A violently burst water pipe had flooded a small section of the road in front of us, obliterating the parallel double-yellow lines and showering the pavement with crumbs of black and yellow tarmac.
Along with Emma Priestnell, and myself, Brian is a co-founder of the London B Foundation. He is a carrier of the LonB gene in its rare accented form. People without the gene have difficulty seeing him. He is constantly having to sidestep oncoming pedestrians – a process made more awkward and ungainly by his vertigous height. Shoppers will often inadvertently push in front of him in queues and he finds it impossible to get served in crowded pubs.
Brian's condition is progressive. Like others before him, he will slowly fade from plain sight, slipping away into the dimension where the phantoms of London B enjoy a more tangible existence. Eventually even fellow carriers like Emma and myself will be unable to see him. He claims to have already been approached by people who have passed-over - A process that he likens to western attempts at contacting isolated tribes in remote jungle areas:
"They leave me things – gifts I suppose. My house is filling up with objects that I can't quite see or interact with. I know that they're there but I can't put my hands on them. It's difficult to explain..."
Brian's accented gene allows him to perceive far more of London b than Emma and I can.
"I see a lot of UFOs," he once told me.
We were eating breakfast in a workman's cafe on Hester Road in Battersea. A woman in a business suit who was typing on a laptop on the next table glanced over her flat screen at the pair of us.
"Aliens?" I enquired, swallowing a greasy mouthful of fried egg.
"I don't think they're aliens. They're more like... vestiges of living things in the process of leaving our dimension. They're not really here anymore – they're out-evolving to another plane of existence. The same place where I'll probably end up."
At the pedestrian crossing the traffic lights changed bringing the conveyor belt of morning rush hour traffic to a halt behind a maroon taxi cab. We crossed over the road and entered Holland Park, following a broad tarmac path with tall trees and wooden benches on either side. A faint drizzle hung in the air. The shiny, wet brown leaves, curled over in the grass verges, trembled in the light breeze.
"How are things?" asked Brian.
"My liver functions are abnormal again. The doctor advised me to consider gene repression therapy."
"We're chalk and cheese the pair of us. Your immune system doesn't recognise the LonB gene as being part of you. Mine is more than happy to look the other way."
"So in my position would you do it?"
"The gene therapy? Given that you'll probably die if you don't, I think that it's worth considering."
"I wouldn't be able to see you anymore."
"As you point out, there are no end to the benefits."
A low brown-brick wall to the left of us came to an abrupt end, giving way to an expanse of green parkland. In the distance we spotted Emma standing amidst an island of bulging supermarket carrier bags. Behind her lay Compass Pond, bordered at regular intervals by a quartet of copper-green trumpet sculptures on stone plinths. Small groups of tourists were milling around taking photographs and studying guidebooks. She waved at us as we left the main path and joined a narrower stretch of tarmac that cut across the parkland towards her.
"Hello you two!"
As she embraced Brian it occurred to me that this was probably the only close human contact he has anymore.
"I've picked up your shopping," she said. "I got everything apart from the organic bananas."
"Thanks. I'll pay you," he replied, reaching into the inside pocket of his suit jacket and retrieving his wallet.
When we agreed to meet here for one of Brian's informal history lessons on London, I realised that even though I had walked past Holland Park on numerous occasions I had never been inside. While the pair were settling-up I studied our surroundings:
The pond was perfectly circular and about 40 feet in diameter, with the points of the compass marked out in brass inlays around its circumference. An armada of paper boats had congregated in the east, where some had run aground on the gentle slope down to the water. The pale, algae-dusted wrecks of previous voyages papered the bottom.
At each of the four principle compass points there was a marble plinth decorated with carvings depicting, respectively, scenes from a zoo, a day at the seaside, a fairground, and a parade of shops. The plinths were topped with green copper trumpets like the horns on a gramophone player, their flowering openings oriented away from the pond. At the base of the marble blocks there was a small archway connecting to a dry stone gully that ran down to the waters edge. I knelt down beside the nearest one and felt a steady current of air being funnelled towards the pond, where it spread bands of semi-circular ripples across the surface.
"I know this is a formality but we'll do it anyway," said Brian regarding the paper boats that were shoaled together on the eastern side of the pond.
He plucked an origami sail boat from the breast pocket of his suit, pushing his fingers inside sections of the model to make it three dimensional. When he judged it seaworthy he bent over and placed it on the surface facing west. Immediately the breeze tugged the small vessel around a full 180 degrees, after which it set off on a steady slanting course across the water until it had joined the other boats.
"Nersha has it," he said.
"These scenes on the plinths," I said. "They're aspects of London life. I mean that one's obviously London Zoo - You can see the aviary..."
"They were intended as suggestions as to what one should do at the weekends depending on the direction of the wind. People used to take them very much to heart. London zoo would do a roaring trade whenever the Ragsail was blowing. They were all paid for by private money. Effectively they're a very permanent form of advertising."
"The fairground – where would that have been?" queried Emma.
"It was to the south of here, across the river in Clapham. It was quite a large area with semi-permanent structures – tents and a small menagerie. A lot of circuses used to winter there. They turned it into an airfield during World War II. When the war was over the owners sold the land and they put houses on it. The same old story really."
"There was a nursery rhyme too wasn't there?" said Emma. "I remember one of my grandmothers singing it to me."
"That was a slightly different thing. It dates back to the 1600s. I can't remember how it goes now. There was something about hanging out your laundry when the Nersha blows."
"I thought Mayblush was laundry day."
"The trouble is that there were many local variations, as well as few more risqué versions."
The segmented metal band of Brian's wrist watch slipped down from under the pink cuff of his shirt, so that it covered the top part of his hand. He paused while he pushed it back into place.
"It's difficult to overstate thing how popular Compass Ponds like this were. In the 1920s and 30s they were all the rage. If you had a garden, the chances are that you would have your own miniature version of this. Periodically they come back into vogue. I saw an article about them in The Guardian a few years ago. The thing is that a lot of people probably have them in their gardens but don't have a clue as to their original purpose."
"Which was mainly ornamental," I said.
"Well yes, admittedly."
"So is this the original?" said Emma.
"The earliest surviving example is an Elizabethan zodiac wheel in Clerkenwell. It was a bit different to this; it's actually described in writing from the time as a Rain Dial. Fortune tellers used to consult it. There was one lady called Edna Westwick who used it to predict the date of the great fire of London, 40 years before it happened. A Catholic school owns the property now. They're not too happy about having an occult artefact in the playground and were very on getting rid of it. They even said they'd pay to have it moved. In the end they were told they couldn't, so they covered it over with wooden decking."
A dark haired girl in her early twenties, holding a guidebook and wearing a bulky grey and pink backpack approached us.
"Excuse me," she said, addressing Brian in what I took to be a Swedish accent. "What is this?"
"It's a compass pond. It tells you which way the wind is blowing. You see these paper boats..."
"It's very old?"
"Its fairly old. I would say about 120 years."
"In the guidebook it says 100 maybe?"
"Oh well, there you go."
The girl regarded Brian for a moment.
"You are almost not here," she said. "It is like you are a ghost but solid. It is very strange."
"Mayblush gusts from the east, reddening the apples in the orchards of Plaistow. The swaying heads of the Harebells, that rise-up in the shadows of the boughs, warn of oncoming storms. In the livestock markets at Barking the grooms take their Stable Lyres down from the rusting hangnails to calm the horses. Down by the docks they call it a 'Whinnying Sipper' because of the noise it makes, like a panicked mare, as it moves between the strings of tugboats.
"In Autumn, when the Hagshead Moth eclipses the porch lantern and the Hymnal Bug hangs humbly from its sackcloth cocoon, it stirs the brambles that climb the trunks, husking the sooty fruit on the common land beside the railway tracks".
~ George Whybrow
"My father used to bring me here," said Brian gesturing in the direction of the pond. "His surgery was on the second floor of one of the Georgian terraces on Palace Gate, opposite Kensington Gardens.
"I would go there after school and do my homework in the waiting room. His secretary was a spinsterish woman in her 50s called Miss Bearman. She would grudgingly clear one corner of her desk, next to the telephone, so that I had some space to work on.
"There were a couple of days each week when my father would hold evening consultations. I preferred those because Miss Bearman would leave at five. Then I would have her desk to myself and I could spread my books out on it.
"On those evenings it wasn't practical to get the train home so we would stay overnight in the surgery. There was a small alcove in the hallway, which was actually an under-the-stairs cupboard with the door taken off. You could still see the hinges. There was a foldaway bed inside it. I would sleep on that with my head in the alcove and my legs protruding out into the corridor. My father would either fall asleep at his desk, or he would lie down on the examination couch in his office.
"In the morning we would wash in the sink. He would iron my uniform. Then he would walk me to school. We would always leave very early. Often it was still dark. On our way we would stop and have breakfast at a cafe which used to over there, where those young ladies are standing."
He pointed to a pair of women with pushchairs who had paused to talk on a barren expanse of crazy-paving adjacent to the footpath.
"It was a wooden building like a crooked Tudor house, although I don't expect it was that old. I recall that it had a stove chimney, with a little conical lid, poking out through the timber roof. I think that may have been its undoing in the end because it burned down. My father had some kind of business arrangement with the Jewish brothers who ran the place because we never paid for our meals there. I remember it being very popular with taxi drivers."
"You went to Saint Dominic's didn't you?" said Emma.
"For my sins."
"So what house were you in?"
"I was House Captain of Nersha in my year."
"I was in Beamer. Sam, I went to Saint Dominic's sister school Saint Felicity's."
"Unless I'm very much mistaken you were head girl," commented Brian.
"Yes, well one doesn't like to boast."
"They didn't have houses or team points at our school," I said. "I think the teachers came to the conclusion that there was enough violence and division already without encouraging any more rivalry."
"Ragsail – the turmoil of the south – breaker of anchor chains on the river Thames - turns the big ships around on their moorings. Pokes and prods the Rat Hawks, borne aloft on the beery thermals of the twin chimney stacks at Yareham's brewery. In the bleary ether of a grey London morning it stirs life into the wind looms on Mitcham common: Wooden skeletons, their autonomous clacking, trailing yards of Streatham Rag like grey banners."
~ George Whybrow
"The Ragsail blew for the last time at some point in the mid 1930s. It was during this decade that urbanisation in the southernmost part of the city altered the topography to such a degree that the wind was effectively rendered extinct. The south wind that blows through London today is an interloper that creeps in across the borders of Sussex and Kent.
"Streatham Rag was a low quality cloth that is still used to this day to make cheap suits and school uniforms."
~ Martin Whybrow
From somewhere nearby we could hear the muffled, repetitive electronic beep of an alarm clock. A short distance from us the Swedish tourist began unpacking her rucksack, rifling through layers of dirty clothes and screwed-up plastic bags from different European countries, the stifled beeping growing louder as she neared its source.
"The factories," said Brian "by which I mean the big mills, were all oriented to catch the wind although very few managed to do it effectively. The most successful was the Templeman Mill in Isleworth. When the Ragsail blew the machinery would more or less operate itself and they would immediately lay-off half the workforce."
"The football clubs used to do a similar thing," I said. "Fulham won an awful lot of games through their strategic manipulation of the wind."
"Well there was a time when every football club in the city would have one of the four winds displayed very prominently on their crest. The pitches would be oriented so that the wind blew from the home end towards the away stand. The architecture of the stadiums was designed to channel the airflow in that direction and amplify the effect. When the teams changed ends at halftime they would shut-off the valves and close the doors so that their opponents wouldn't have the same advantage. They're not allowed to do it anymore. As you rightly said, Fulham had a very well designed stadium..."
"Nersha rises in the west, born of flea marsh, lamb fen and leaf thrash. Fickle, by turns a brash monsoon – the barnstorming onrush from Hounslow - or sunlit whisper that stirs the pinwheels in the gardens of Mervish Court and whitens the sheeny hulls of Thames tugboats with salt dust from the mainland."
~ George Whybrow
"The Nersha has the dubious honour of being the official corporate mascot of the London Sewerage Company. It is commemorated by a seashell mosaic depicting a merman, which can be seen above the enamelled outflow of the Redless Sewerage Treatment Works in Twickenham."
~ Martin Whybrow
The wind had picked up, stirring the paper boats which shuddered against each other as if sensing an oncoming storm. A sudden gust prised the collar of Brian's shirt from underneath his jacket, so that the tip grazed against his cheek.
"Now this is what a farmer would call a north-westerly winnow," he said. "A threshing wind."
To the east, the broken arc of a rainbow dipped down over the city.
"It's raining somewhere," I said.
"Blackheath, maybe," mused Brian as he gathered his shopping bags, distributing their collective weight evenly between both hands.
Shortly afterwards the three of us departed from Compass Pond, each going their own way. One of us was in perfect balance, while two were wildly off-kilter.
Emma Priestnell strode confidently north, to the boutiques and cafes of Hampstead.
Brian Borrie went west to Chiswick. I watched him go, meandering between the other pedestrians who were mostly oblivious to his presence. After a while even I could not see him anymore.
I dawdled around Holland Park for a further ten minutes, before setting off on a long foot journey east.
For a while the rainbow seemed to be embedded in the spire of a distant church. Later, when I joined the Thames embankment, it alighted periodically on one of a slow moving procession of buses that were crawling across Waterloo Bridge. By the time I had reached Tower Bridge it was a faint multi-coloured smudge, gnawed away by low cloud, arcing wanly over Greenwich.

Naturalization is the process of granting citizenship privileges and responsibilities to foreign-born residents. The naturalization process in the United States creates records about the immigrant seeking to become a citizen. These records can contain information about the immigrant but the content varies depending on the time period and from court to court.
Immigrants to the United States have never been required to apply for citizenship. An immigrant could become a citizen anytime after they arrived in the United States as long as they were residents in the United States for the required period of time. Of those who applied, some did not complete the requirements to become a citizen.
Before 1906, the information recorded on naturalization records (declaration of intentions and petitions) differed widely because every court created their own forms and decided what information to ask. Some asked very little, some asked more including birthplace and date of arrival. The declaration of intention may have more or less information than the petition, depending on what court the actions took place. The only way to know what a county asked is to locate both records and never assume one is better than the other.
Before 1906, naturalization records contain:
Although it is not common, some naturalization records before 1906 may' also contain one or more of the following information:
In 1906, the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization was created. [1] (Later called, Immigration and Naturalization Services or INS.) The result was standardized forms throughout the country and a copy of the naturalization papers sent to the INS in addition to the court keeping a copy. The declaration of intention and petition contained almost the same information. Additional naturalization records were also kept depending on the time period and these records are only available today at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly the INS).
After 1906, naturalization records may contain:
Declarations of intention and petitions do not contain the name of the immigrant's parents - even after 1906. Starting in 1924, the visa was the first naturalization-related record to give the immigrants' parents names. The visa files are available from 1924 to 1944.
Naturalization records began in Colonial times. The requirements and process of naturalization have changed many times over the years. The basic requirements have been residency in the country for a given period of time, good moral character, and an oath of loyalty or allegiance given in a court of record.
British immigrants were automatically citizens of the colonies (British Empire). Seven of the original colonies had their own laws for naturalizing foreigners as citizens of the British Empire colony. After the Revolutionary War, the individual states established their own naturalization laws and procedures.
3 Types of Colonial Naturalization
The first naturalization law was enacted in 1790. Over the years, naturalization laws changed numerous times, but generally speaking the process required a declaration of intention and a petition to be filed to become a citizen. The immigrant also had to be a resident in the United States 5 years and a 1 year resident in the the state before becoming a citizen. In 1795, the law stated there was a 3 year residency requirement. In 1798, it was changed to 14 years. However in 1802, the law was changed back to a 5 year residency requirement in the United States and remains a requirement to this day.[3]
The naturalization process is completed in a court of law. The process usually required several steps to complete and various documents related to naturalization may be found in the court records described below.
The typical naturalization process involved three steps:
From 1798 to 1828, a new immigrant was required to appear before a local court and register his arrival in the United States. This was usually recorded in the court minutes. Sometimes a separate document, a report and registry or aliens' register, was created instead. The immigrant could obtain a certificate showing that he had registered in order to prove his residency later when he applied for citizenship. The Report and Registry could take place at a different time and different court than the immigrant's declaration as a declaration was still required.
The Report and Registry may include the following information depending on the court recording the information:
When the INS was created in 1906, other naturalization records were created during the process of naturalization to keep track of immigrants in the United States. Copies of these documents are only in the possession of the former INS, now United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A summary of some of these documents are listed below:
Naturalization records before 1790 differ vastly from later naturalization records. Colonial naturalizations consist mostly of lists of those that took the oath of allegiance. The colony where the immigrant was living had jurisdiction over naturalizations.
Two good sources to begin searching for colonial naturalization records are
An immigrant may have completed naturalization proceedings through any of 5,000 federal, state, or local courts that had the authority to grant citizenship. Naturalization proceedings could happen in county, superior or common pleas courts, or in state and U.S. circuit and district courts. Although, numerous courts could naturalize, including municipal, police, criminal, chancery, probate, surrogate and marine. You need to search the records of all of the courts covering an area to make sure you have exhausted your search.
You may need to search the records of each place where your immigrant ancestor lived to locate both naturalization records. He may have filed the declaration of intention in one court in one state and filed the petition several years later in another court and state. Making a timeline of your ancestor to see where they lived helps in narrowing your search.
Search first the place the immigrant first lived in the US. Then search the place they were living five years later for the petition.
Beginning in September 1906, the federal government began regulating the naturalization process. The Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (now the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or USCIS) required specific forms for declarations and petitions. Only these forms could be used and the Bureau controlled the number of courts able to naturalize by controlling distribution of the forms. However, both state and federal courts were allowed to naturalize.
The Declaration of Intent (Form 2202) was completed in triplicate. The court kept the original and gave copies to the applicant and the Bureau. The applicant was to use the declaration to apply for the petition. If the declaration is still in possession of the family, the immigrant probably did not complete the process and was not a citizen. The Petition for Naturalization (Form 2204) was kept by the court and a duplicate was sent to the INS. The Certificate of Naturalization (Form 2207) was given to the new citizen and a stub of the Certificate was kept in the court to prove it was issued. A duplicate of the petition was sent to the INS.
In 1929, the INS changed the forms and required photographs of the applicants. Because the new forms were not distributed immediately, many state courts ceased naturalizing. However, naturalizations were still taking place in local county courts as well as federal courts after 1929, and the records of any court still naturalizing should be consulted to locate your ancestor's records.
Immigrants could naturalize in any court that performed naturalizations. That included city, county, state and federal courts. After 1906, federal courts naturalized many immigrants, however, other local courts continued to naturalize as late as 1985. Check all possible courts in the area your ancestor lived.
Begin by looking for naturalization records in the courts of the county or city where the immigrant lived. Look first for the petition (second papers), because they are usually easier to find in courts near where the immigrant eventually settled. After 1906, the declaration can be filed with the petition as the immigrant was required to submit a copy when he submitted the petition.
Because immigrants were allowed to naturalize in any court, they often selected the most convenient court. If they lived in New Jersey but worked in New York City, also check the courts of New York City for the naturalization records. If an immigrant lived on the border of a county, they may have naturalized in the adjacent county because the courthouse may have been closer.
One federal court that may contain your ancestor's naturalization records is the District Court. However, to search the these records you must first determine the correct district court. Click on United States District Court Jurisdictions to help you identify the correct District Court. You must know the county your ancestor resided in.
There are many online resources available for researching naturalization records. These online resources include naturalization indexes as well as digital images of naturalization records.
Naturalization records at the library are listed in the Place Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under one of the following:
The library has also acquired large collections of naturalization records from the National Archives branches in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle.
In some states, naturalization records are included in other court records and are not separately identified. Search the Wiki for the name of the state and the word "naturalization" to help you locate these records.
A key reference book is:
The clerk of the court where the immigrant was naturalized may still have the original records. Some copies of court naturalization records have been transferred to National Archives regional branches. Check these Regional Branches for Federal Court Records as they charge less than the USCIS.
National Archive regional branches have websites that often state which naturalization records they have available. To locate the regional branch covering the location of the court where the naturalization document was filed, click here.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has instituted the Genealogy Program for public access to immigrant records from 1906 to 1956 created by this agency, formerly Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Before making a request, review Genealogy FAQ and Genealogy Common Errors sections.
The following records can be requested online or by mail:
When ordering by mail, use forms G-1041 (for an index search) and G-1041a (for obtaining the record). Do not submit a request for records until you have completed an index search.
When ordering on-line, begin with a valid file number. Then make a request on-line.
Once the form is filled out, include a money order or cashier's check. Cash or a personal check will not be accepted. There are no refunds for incorrect file numbers submitted or for negative results. The mailing address and fee schedule are on the forms.
Before you search for your ancestor's naturalization records, you should have an idea of when they immigrated to the United States.
Evidence that an immigrant became a citizen can be found in censuses, court minutes, homestead records, passports, voting registers, and military papers. Even if an immigrant ancestor did not complete the process and become a citizen, he may have begun the process and filed a declaration of intention
If your immigrant lived until after 1900, you should locate them on as many censuses as you can.
Census Records – 1900 to 1930
The 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 Censuses each ask the year an immigrant arrived to the United States. It also asks if the individual was naturalized or not. The codes for naturalization are as follows:
1920 Census
The 1920 Census also asks the year the individual naturalized. The 1920 Census is the only year this question is asked.
Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship:
It is helpful to know if your ancestor naturalized. Documents found in your family's possession may indicate if your ancestor naturalized. One document you may find in your family's possession is a Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship. This document indicates that your ancestor completed the process, and was a naturalized citizen of the United States. The certificate also states the court where the petition was filed. This helps locate a copy of the petition, which can contain more information about the immigrant.
If your ancestor had a United States passport, your ancestor completed the naturalization process and was a US Citizen. Passports were only given to U.S. citizens. They were and was not required for travel outside of the United States during times of war. Often newly naturalized citizens would obtain passports to keep them from being drafted in their native country's military. For more information about United States Passports, click here.
For success in finding naturalization records and obtaining the information desired, remember that there are limitations in naturalization records, exceptions to the naturalization process and search strategies that should be used such as checking spelling variations.
Town of Origin
Most researchers hope to find the town of origin in naturalization records. This information usually is listed in naturalization records after 1906 when the forms were standardized. Before 1906, often the country of origin is only listed and the town not normally given. However, because each court recorded different information prior to 1906, it is important to search the earlier naturalization records.
Court Records
Prior to 1906, each court created their own naturalization forms. Each form was different, so information recorded on the form differed. You may find substantial information in one court (date and place of immigration, age of applicant, place of birth) and very little information (name of aaplicant, country of origin) in another court. Thus, it is important to always obtain the naturalization records of an immigrant even if they naturalized before 1906.
Names of Parents
Names of parents are not regularly found associated with naturalization records. Late 19th and 20th century passenger list immigration records may reveal the name of a parent if they are shown as the closest relative left behind in the old country or the person to whom the immigrant was destined. Immigrants admitted from July 1, 1924 to March 31, 1944 will have their parent's names shown in their Visa file. Copies of visa files can only be obtained from the USCIS. Immigrants who arrived prior to 1924 but who underwent Registry proceedings between 1929 and 1944 usually name their parents in their Registry File, also available from USCIS. Only if the immigrant naturalized after March 31, 1944, will the Visa File or Registry File be found in the USCIS naturalization Certificate File.
There are exceptions to the naturalization process that can determine whether you find a declaration of intention and a petition for your ancestor, or not.
Immigrant children, even today, receive their citizenship from their parents. Starting in 1790, children received derivative citizenship from their father (or mother in some cases). Derivative citizenship is defined as obtaining one's citizenship from or through another person. When the child's father became naturalized, his children under 16 (or 18, depending on the year) automatically became citizens. No paperwork was created at that time. From 1790 to 1929, to prove his or her citizenship, the child would need his or her father's certificate of naturalization.
Under the Act of March 2, 1929, individuals who derived citizenship through a parent's naturalization could apply for and receive a Certificate of Citizenship in their own name. Applicants age 21 or older applied to the Bureau of Naturalization, later the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS, now USCIS), and that agency issues such certificates without any involvement of the courts. For this reason records of certificates of derivative citizenship are available only from USCIS. Many immigrants who derived citizenship in the 1870's, 1880's, or 1890's later applied for derivative certificates in the 1930's and 1940's. Certificates of Citizenship issued between 1929 and 1956 are among the USCIS Certificate Files (C-Files), while those issued after 1956 are among the USCIS Alien Files (A-Files).
The Act of May 26, 1824 allowed immigrants who arrived before their 18th birthday to, upon reaching age 21, petition for naturalization without filing a prior declaration of intention. Petitions filed under this provision are usually called "Minor Naturalizations" because they relate to individuals who arrived as a minor (but who were an adult, age 21 or older, when actually naturalized). They are also examples of "one paper naturalizations" because no declaration was required. Many courts combined the declaration and petition documents into a form for this document which may or may not include the word "minor" in the title. Regular forms will cite the 1824 Act. The minor naturalization provision was often abused and was repealed in 1906.[5]
In 1855, derivative citizenship (obtaining one's citizenship from another person) was also available for immigrant women marrying U.S citizens, or if their husbands obtained their citizenship during their marriage. The wife's proof that she was a U.S. citizen was her husband's certificate of citizenship (or certificate of naturalization) and her marriage certificate.
In 1922, citizenship was no longer available to women through marriage. However, from 1907 to 1922, a woman could lose her U.S. citizenship if she married an alien, even if she was born in the United States. For more information, read Marian L. Smith's article, Women and Naturalization, ca. 1802-1940.
To serve in the United States military, one did not need to be a United States citizen - even today.The United States Government passed some naturalization laws to help encourage new immigrants to serve in the military in their new homeland. These laws made becoming a naturalized citizen easier for the immigrant in military service. The following are the laws concerning service in the military:
Army--Beginning in 1862, the Declaration was waived, and the residency requirement was reduced to one year, for a soldier with an honorable discharge.
Navy Marines--Beginning in 1894, with an honorable discharge, the Declaration was waived and the residency requirement was reduced to one year.
World War I--In 1918, during WWI, the residency requirement was waived and the Declaration was also waived. Soldiers were naturalized at military posts.
In some instances, entire groups have been collectively granted U.S. citizenship. Collective naturalization is defined as a group of people all receiving their citizenship through an act of congress or treaty. In these cases you will not find individual naturalization papers.
Collective naturalization occurred for residents of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, Texas in 1845, and Hawaii in 1898.
In 1868, African-Americans were made citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Unites States Constitution.
In 1924, Native Americans were finally made citizens, although some chiefs of tribes became citizens before this date. The Native Americans were not included in the Fourteenth Amendment because they were considered a separate nation.
In 1924 Indian Citizenship Act was passed, approximately two-thirds of the Indians of the United States had become citizens either through treaty agreements, by special statutes naturalizing named tribes or individuals, by general statutes naturalizing Indians who acquired land allotments, or by statutes naturalizing special groups (such as Indian women who had married non-Indian men).
The Act of 2 June 1924, extended full citizenship privileges to the Indians by proclaiming:
"...all non-citizens Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they hereby are, declared to be citizens of the the United States: Provided, that the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property."
Search all spellings of the surname. Think about how the surname was pronounced, and how it sounded in your ancestor's probable accent. The surname may be spelled differently in earlier records that were closer to your ancestor's immigration date.
There are over 150 U.S. naturalization laws that have been enacted since 1790. These laws change the residency requirements and other stipulations for naturalizing. ; A summary of some of the major naturalization acts passed by congress can be found here.
There are many terms and acronyms used when discussing naturalization records. A list of them can be found here.

One out of 10 people will buy no gifts at all for this year's Chuseok or Korean Thanksgiving due to the prolonged recession.
Supermarket giant Lotte Mart said Monday that a poll of 1,220 people in late August found that 142, or 11.6 percent, will not buy gifts for one of the country's biggest holiday. The figure is eight percentage points higher than for this year's lunar New Year's Day.
This suggests that the recession has put additional pressure on household finances. The average household spending on Chuseok gifts this year is estimated at W196,000, down W15,000 from last year's W211,000 (US$1=W1,099).
There is a stark difference between the gifts people want and the gifts they are giving. Fruit is at the top of the list of presents to buy with 20.1 percent, followed by health food with 16.2 percent. But what the recipients really want is gift vouchers with 48.8 percent.
Choi Choon-seok of Lotte Mart said, "We expect a noticeable trend toward inexpensive and practical presents."

A lot of times applications are deployed by hand on a developer's laptop. That can be time consuming and it is mostly done by one, or a few developers within the team.
With a build server, you know you have an independent build, unit tests & code analysis checked (if set up) and a package that can be tested by the test team, if deployed.
If the application has had some releases, it is set up for manual builds and deployments. When that is in place, the application must be adjusted for a build and deploy server. For example, the transformation of the configs now needs to be done at deploy time instead of at build time; that is because the package from the build can potentially go from test all the way to production. When done manually, it is built for a specific environment. That also means that when a version is approved by the test team, a new build needs to be made for the acceptance environment; the same for production.
From the Start
So, how to smoothly implement this? Well, when there is little to nothing to integrate: at the start of the project.
With no history, it is easy to configure and the application is setup correctly from the start. The CI setup can grow with the application, although probably little to no changes are required. And every team member can do a deploy.
Octopus Deploy is particularly easy to use, non-developers can also do a deployment once it it set up (for .Net projects)
Some options for build servers are:
- Team Foundation Server (TFS). Depending of the version, it might need an upgrade (Compiler version / .net framework version)
- A hosted build server AppVeyor
- An on premise option is Bamboo
Unit test basics
Another good thing to setup from the start is the unit test basics. Setup the use of a fake database with dependency injection and make some unit tests that can be used as examples.
For Sitecore projects, these are good blogs:
- Isolating calls to Sitecore.Context for improved unit testability – Part I: ItemProvider, Moq and FakeDb
- Improving unit test readability: helper methods & named arguments
Peer reviews
To share the code and knowledge of the application and it's changes, do peer reviews between developers of a feature. It also triggers discussion about the way of coding, to improve the coding guidelines and uniform coding.


text: Angola, Louisiana - The Angola rodeo in Louisiana - running since 1964 - is no ordinary affair. For a start, the event is held inside a high security prison with more than 6,000 inmates, and instead of watching trained cowboys and cowgirls, the participants are some of the state's most dangerous criminals. "They want to put on a show," says Warden Burl Cain who considers the rodeo as part of a rehabilitation programme. "I would never do it, I'm afraid but they're not. They want to do it, so we let them do it." Warden Cain has good reason to be afraid - some of the events, such as convict poker, are nothing short of dangerous. Inmates sit around a small plastic table in the rodeo ring when an enraged bull is released. The bull charges straight towards the four prisoners and the last man sitting wins $250. It is a game of raw nerves. Injuries are common, despite the fact that the men wear helmets and safety vests. "It would be nice if we had training," says prisoner Kristopher Schoening who has been locked up at Angola for 15 years. "But it's also pretty awesome when you win the event and you ain't had no training!" The rodeo, which takes place five times a year, drew in over $1m in revenue from ticket sales, along with the proceeds of selling snacks and furniture made by inmates. The funds go to "bapitst seminary classes, funerals for the inmates, educational programes, and maintenance for the prison's six chapels". Outside the arena, inmates are encouraged to set up their own arts and crafts stalls. They sell everything from fried coke (a congealed ball of solidified soda) to leather belts and stain glass windows. More than half the inmates are first-time offenders and up to 90 percent of them will die there, given Lousiana's harsh prison sentences.

The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest and most prestigious achievement a Boy Scout can achieve. Highly respected, the title of Eagle Scout carries with it a special significance not only in Scouting, but also in school, business and the community for a lifetime. To attain Eagle, a Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges, display leadership and outdoor skills, demonstrate by example the Scout Oath and Law and complete a comprehensive service project in the community.
There is a new version of the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook that is an "expandable" PDF. This fillable PDF document contains new functionalities for this electronic workbook that include expandable text boxes and the ability to insert images in JPEG, GIF, TIF, and PNG formats and much much more:
A two-page brochure was recently made available by the national Advancement Team and is intended for a project beneficiary interested helping a Life Scout with their Eagle Scout Service Project.
The Guide to Safe Scouting provides information applicable to a Scout's Eagle Scout Service Project. The first are age guidelines for the use of hand tools and power tools, working heights and elevations, and excavations. The second is a list of service project planning guidelines that should appear in the Final Plan section of the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook.
The Eagle Scout Rank Application is updated annually so Scouts (and Scouters) need to make sure they are using the most current version. This form is completed when all requirements for the rank of Eagle (except the board of review) have been completed. The Application needs to be reviewed by the District before being sent to the Council.
CT Rivers is required by BSA policy to verify all Eagle Scout Rank Applications prior to the Board of Review. This verification ensures that all the Scouts' dates, requirements, and merit badges are accurate before the candidate sits for his Eagle Board of Review. This procedure reduces errors in submitted Eagle Scout Rank Applications and improves the overall processing time at the CT Rivers.

Vintage Hardware, door knobs & furniture knob and pullsJanuary 6th, 2019 in member junk
BJjunk, member
Just a sample of the vintage hardwear we carry. People travel quite aways to find replacment knobs and pulls for their homes and furniture. Kind of hard to find it, but I like helping shoppers get the right stuff. Also we're always using it on our own projects. "Lets use this pull" "Now this one" "How about this style?" Often we run into over choice.
Pattern or design used: My own design

Purple mountains majesty.
Beautiful View
Beautiful! Love love love AZ mountains! Did you go on an early morning hike my dear? (If so, maybe someday we can coordinate together!)
Haha, and I don't even have to be jealous! Because I would be…
Making me homesick all the way over here in Thailand. Nothing beats Arizona mountains…
We are so blessed to live in Arizona with such magnicificant views. Beautiful photo, Kelli.
Don't you just love the mountains:) I remember thinking when singing America the Beautiful back east (PA and NY) and hearing the words "Purple Mountains" and thinking, "what are they talking about…mountains aren't purple". Well, then I moved to AZ 29 years ago and saw my first purple mountain range (The Catalinas in Tucson) and I fell in love. I don't think I could ever live without them again. They speak to me daily and remind me of the awesome wonder of our God in all He has created.
Sunny, 70's and smiling all day today. Enjoy yours…
I have a new appreciation for this landscape. That's why I always encourage travelling! Beautiful view.
I love the mountains here in AZ. Especially with the sunsets that paint them in colors.
My view is white, snow and cold….. 😉

This is the day that I have been waiting for since October. Here in Great Britain we changed our clocks to British Summer Time. That mean we lost an hour's sleep last night. Which in turns means we start getting lighter evenings. I love B.S.T. I seam to get much more done with the lighter evenings and warmer days.
The other important thing about today is it is Census Day too. Every ten years there is a count of the population of Great Britain. This year we received a booklet that asked all sort of questions. If any household does not fill their census booklet and return soon there is one thousand pound fine. There is an option to fill the census online. I told Mr Daisychain that we should fill in the booklet and let the government transfer the information on to the computer themselves!!
In a hundred years when this census is realised to the public, anyone tracing my family history will find me living in yet another new county. I wonder where I will be in ten years time?

I did not buy any fabric as I felt it was too expensive but I did buy some threads. We are off to the cinema to see the King's Speech later. I spotted another great shop that I would like to visit tomorrow which is on the way to the ferry terminal. I know that we should have time to spare before catching the ferry. Come back tomorrow to see if I managed to get a little shopping done in the morning.

Tipografia Deliziosa: Louise Fili. Although I spoke to Louise for only an hour, I came away with a lot of advice any creative can use.
For instance, who hasn't had a client ask for a random design change (make it bigger, smaller, move it to the left, etc.)? When Fili gets those kinds of requests, she responds strategically: "I say, "Don't tell me what to change. Tell me what you don't like about the way it is now, and I'll fix it." Brilliant! She learned a lot while at Pantheon. Some guidance is especially useful for new designers. Fili also gives advice to undergraduate and MFA students at the School of Visual arts. Louise Fili is leading a session at the Adobe MAX conference on Wednesday, October 7, 2015.

Animals can't be put aside; they are never hidden behind the curtains, somehow or the other, they are truly linked with human world. We keep them as our pets, we love them as part of our family, and we adore them as our own kids. We obtain food from animals, wool, leather, fleece and animal crusts are used to make paraphernalia for humans. So in every way animals are the part and parcel of human society. If we look around too many parks where people come in the evenings often carry their pets with them for a walk.
We get across maxims like cute as a kitten, bull's eye view, slow as a turtle which show that animals do have influential presence in our routine lives.

Watches can be a boring, functional affair, but they can also be brilliantly insane - especially if you have a lot of money.
If T3's favourite traditional timepiecesare too understated for you, check out these hulking monstrosities which are perfect for eccentric millionaires with a penchant for outlandish wrist wear... for the rest of us though? Let's just call it watch-porn.
- Looking for something a bit smarter? Check out our favourite smartwatches here
Hublot MP-05 La Ferrari
This Hublot was created to commemorate the arrival of La Ferrari - the company's £1-million hypercar. That's why it resembles an engine, and the movement has a definite racing feel, with swivelling anodised cylinders displaying the hours minutes and seconds. Only 50 will ever be made, but we think it's the perfect accessory for a La Ferrari owner.
MB&F HM5 on the road again RT
The HM5 is also inspired by the automotive world, but this time taking design cues from 1970s American sports cars. The watch uses sapphire prisms to magnify and project the time on to its side-mounted dash, and it's made from 22k red gold. It's a lovely retro timepiece with a steampunk feel to it.
Ventura SPARC Sigma MGS
This 2006 concept is now made reality by designer Paolo Fancelli, using movement to power a flywheel that runs the display, with alarms and calendar. It's rather large, but exceptionally efficient, capable of storing energy for up to 45 days.
Greubel Forsey Platinum GMT
A GMT watch displays the hour in dual time zones, but this beast goes further, with a globe that spins in 24-hour cycles, not only lighting up the hour as it moves, but also moving a black scale to indicate night fall. It's an amazing feat of watch-making - it's just a shame that it costs more than most houses.
Harry Winston Opus XIII
Fifty-nine pivoting minute hands and eleven rotating triangles mark the hours and vanish and reappear to give you a vague sense time passing - well, if you've got 200 grand to spend on a watch being on time doesn't matter does it?
The case is white gold and the strap is made from hand-sewn alligator leather. Only 130 pieces have been made, so you better get an order in quick.
HYT H1 Black DLC and Pink Gold
A piston and bellows are operated by the mechanical movement that pumps glowing yellow fluid around the bezel, highlighting the current hour. It's an amazing concept and looks incredibly striking, as HYT put it, an exceptional combination of watch-making and fluid engineering.
Louis Vuitton Escale Worldtime
Of a limited edition of 20, yes, only 20! This hand-painted face features 24 world locations, with the time picked out by three rotating dials. If you didn't have a headache before checking the time - you will do now!
Arnold & Son Time Pyramid
The Time Pyramid sounds like something from Doctor Who, but it's not, probably. This elegant watch features a pyramid-shaped mechanism which is hand-finished by British watchmakers and hand-wound. Don't think it'll be smooth enough? It's got 27 inset jewels to ensure it's as smooth as it can possibly be.
Orolog OC1 Chronograph
Want to sidestep the classic watch brands? Wear new Spanish designer Jaime Hayon's limited-edition creation. Using leather from Hermés and a Swiss movement, it's a Euro hit. Does anyone else think this has a hint of Pebble Time about it?

Hi Ellen....I'm "old" too (66) so join the crowd :) I like Yellowstone just because it's pretty big, very diverse and interesting and they need lots of people (all ages). If you want somewhere closer to home you might checkout Yosemite (although I've never worked there). Keep in mind that seasonal jobs don't pay much and be sure you understand your housing arrangements and costs ahead of time (very important!). With the right expectations summer seasonal work can be a lot of fun! Richard
Hi Ellen! Let me know if I can help you in any way :) Take care ... Richard
