Sylvia,
Having been born in the U.S., as were both my parents, I have no idea
what the proceedure is now or in the '70'. My only feeble knowledge is for
folk who applied for U.S.citizenship in the 1890's. My guess is that the
proceedures changed with, if not before, the ratification of the19th
ammendment to the U.S. constitution on 18 August, 1920, which gave women,
nationally, the right to vote, among other things. I believe that at one
state, Wyoming, had conferred the right to vote on women, in that state,
before that. When searching courthouse records for 1890s applications, a
clerk in the records office told me what the proceedurewas for the 1890's
and in fact, don't remember seeing any women applicants.

My Husband and i both filed for citizenship, went to classes. i did
not
become a citizen through him but had to do it my-self.
In order for my children to become citizens, we had to apply for a U.S
passports for them, it required both our naturalization documents, birth
and
marriage certificates, and this could only be done as long as they
were
not
18 at the time of our naturalization, the year 1977.
