Edward J. Scahill - Portland, Maine - 1940 U.S. Census - The Sixteenth U.S. Census

The Sixteenth United States Census, conducted by the Census Bureau, determined the resident population of the United States to be 132,164,569, an increase of 7.3 percent over the 1930 population of 123,202,624 persons. The census date of record was April 1, 1940. A number of new questions were asked including where people were 5 years before, highest educational grade achieved, and information about wages. This census introduced sampling techniques; one in 20 people were asked additional questions on the census form. Other innovations included a field test of the census in 1939.

William Joseph Scahill - US Naturalization Records - District Of Massachusetts

This is an extract from the US National Archives website.

Naturalization is the process by which an alien becomes an American citizen. These records can provide a researcher with information such as a person's birth date and location, occupation, immigration year, marital status and spouse information, witnesses' names and addresses, and more.

Prior to 1906, any "court of record" (municipal, county, state, or Federal) could grant U.S. citizenship. As a general rule, the National Archives does not have naturalization records created in State or local courts. However, a few indexes and records have been donated to the National Archives from counties, states and local courts and are available as National Archives microfilm publications. See the list of this county and state microfilm available.

Naturalizations After 1906:
After 1906, the courts forwarded copies of naturalizations to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Delia Scahill - SS Samaria - United States Citizen - Arriving At - Port Of New York

This is an extract from the United States National Archives website.

Even though passenger arrival records were intended to document foreign or alien immigrants coming into the United States, you will occasionally find U.S. citizens listed on the vessel manifests as well. In the 19th century records, they are much harder to locate, their names generally mixed together with the alien arrivals. You have to note their country of origin to determine any American-born passengers. In the 20th century passenger records, the task of identifying U.S. citizens becomes much easier. In the 1920s, immigration officials started using INS form 630, “List of U.S. Citizens,” which required ship captains to record the names of all native-born or naturalized Americans or citizens of territorial possessions of the United States arriving at a U.S. or territorial port from abroad...

Mary Ann Scahill - SS Baltic - Record Of Detained Alien - Port Of New York

This is an extract from the Ancestry magazine archive.

...To many twentieth-century Immigration Passenger Lists, a "Record of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry" and a "Record of Detained Aliens" would be appended after the ship had docked and the passengers had been inspected by U.S. officials. These supplemental lists were microfilmed with the original ship passenger lists to which they were appended.

Record of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry. A "Record of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry" names the passengers who were detained at the immigrant receiving station pending a hearing by a Board of Special Inquiry. It records the reason for the detention, the action taken by the Board, and whether the passenger was admitted or deported. If, for instance, a passenger arrived with measles and had to spend time in quarantine, the Cause of Detention column might show DCD for "detected contagious disease," or LCD for "likely contagious disease," followed by the date the passenger was admitted...
