The Importance of Census Records
If you don't know the year your ancestor arrived in the USA, search the 1870, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census for the year of immigration!
1870 Census
Check the column "Male Citizens of the United States of twenty-one years of age and upwards" If your ancestor has a check mark in this column, you have a clue that naturalization took place before 1870. This can help you narrow the exact year for his naturalization, especially if you have a year of arrival.

1900 Census
Under the question of whether or not an individual was naturalized, you are likely to see one of these three abbreviations regarding his status:
AL was used to signify that the individual was still an alien and was not naturalized nor had not begun the naturalization process.
PA was used to signify that the individual had gone through the Declaration of Intent and had filed his "first" papers.
NA was used to signify that the individual had completed the naturalization process and was a naturalized citizen. Need the 1900 census? Try US Census Collection Free Trial
