Sorry for the delay, we were in the Bay area for the PAC 10 basketball games. Well, we beat Stanford, and
lot to Cal, so it was a good weekend!

So here is what I found

 Year: 1920; Census Place: Stillwater Ward 2, Washington, Minnesota; Roll: T625_866; Page: 7A; Enumeration
District: 185; Image: 998.
602 Oak Street
150/175 Flynn, Daniel Head (owns home, free of mortgage) m w 72 m (1862 NA 1891) Ireland/Eng Ireland/Eng
Ireland/Eng Pilot on a Steam Boat
Flynn, Catherine, wife f w 63 m (1858 NA 1875) Canada/Eng Canada/Eng Canada/Eng

Year: 1910; Census Place: 2-Wd Stillwater, Washington, Minnesota; Series: T624; Roll: 730; Page: 218A;
Enumeration District: 182; Part: 2; Line: 13.
606 Oak Street 178/196 Flynn, Daniel Head m w 62 m1 25 Ireland Ireland Ireland Imm 1872 (or 1862, hard to
read) Na English River Pilot
Catherine wife f w 53 m1 25 5/5 Canada/Eng Canada/Eng Canada/Eng imm 1860
Genevive daughter f w 22 S Minnesota Ireland/O Canada/E Stenographer Office
Seldon son m 2 19 S Minnesota Ireland/O Canada/E Book on River Boat
Daniel m w 15 S Minnesota Ireland/O Canada/E none

Year: 1900; Census Place: Stillwater Ward 2, Washington, Minnesota; Roll: T623 796; Page: 16B; Enumeration
District: 45.
606 West Oak Street 285/328 Flyn Daniel Head w m April 1847 53 m 25 Ireland Ireland Ireland 186[3?5?] 35
(yrs in US) Na Captain on Boat
Katherin [B?] wife w f July 1855 44 m 25 5/5 Canada/E Canada/E Canada/E 1857 43
Edmund [W?] son w m Apr 1878 22 S Minnesota Ireland Canada/E Raftsman
Harry J. Son w m May 1880 20 S Minnesota Ireland Canada/E Fireman on Boat
Genevieve daughter w f June 1887 12 S Minnesota Ireland Canada/E At School
Thomas S. Son w m Sept 1891 9 S Minnesota Ireland Canada/E
Daniel R. Son w m [Mar?] 1895 5  Ireland Canada/E

Based on the date listed in 1920, which indicates he was naturalized in 1891, and the fact that Thomas S.
was born in Stillwater in Sept of 1891, according to the 1900 census, I'd be checking in the Washington
County, MN for the naturalization papers. 

I've only done one or two naturalizations, and found them in county courthouse records, so am not the
expert here. Perhaps you could begin at the http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnwashin/ to get some names of people
and courthouses.

Good luck.

Pat

I went home and tried to read my notes and the census I copied at the archives.  My eyes must be a lot
worse than they were a few years ago when I made the copy.  I think they only asked about citizenship in
the 1910 and 1920 census but am not sure of that.  I need to go to the library and use Heritage quest to
look them up again so I can actually read what it says.  If you have access and good eyes maybe you could
read what it says.  

When I first started I assumed they were married in Canada and then came to the states.  But after I found
these two censuses I realized that she came here when she was only about 3 years old and he came just
after the civil war so I was able to find their marriage record which was in Minnesota.

If you do have access to heritage quest and wouldn't mind looking they are in the 1900, 1910 and 1920
census in Stillwater, Minnesota.  Their names were Daniel Flynn and his wife Catherine (Sometimes, Kate,
sometimes Katherine).  Children Edward, Harry George, Genevieve Mary, Thomas Seldon and Daniel Flynn, Jr.

More investigation may be required. Who were the people that "provide those documents"?  Depending on the
year, the docs could be in the county courthouse, a state office, or even NARA, I suppose.

Why don't you give us the details, and maybe someone can assist.

Oh, I'm leaving Thursday for the Bay Area, where some good basketball should break out, but between now
and then, or when I get home. . . .

I have an ancestor that has the NA in that column and I assumed it meant Naturalized, but when I tried to
obtain the naturalization papers for that person, using the date, place etc. I was told by the people that
provide those documents that na meant not applicable and that the person was not naturalized after all.
