Stub from Citizenship
Certificate Stub
from Citizenship Certificate of
Harry Steinberg
At
the time of naturalization,
the actual citizenship certificate
was given to the new
citizen and the remaining
"stub" portion of the
certificate was kept by the
court. The stub can provide
helpful information. If
a man was married, he was to list his
wife and minor children. In
many cases, the new citizen
listed ALL his children - even
if they were in their 20s,
30s, and even older. The stub document at the
left tells the following key personal items
about Harry Steinberg:

intention in the Superior
Court of Hampden County,

1903.
