Great Grandpa's Citizenship, 1941
Wow. My Great-Grandpa came from Sweden and lived in Boston for awhile before settling in Minneapolis and the western suburbs (Golden Valley). This is his certificate of citizenship. He was born in 1887, and became a US citizen in 1941, when he was 64 years old. I'm a fourth generation immigrant and do not think about my roots that much.. so it is so cool to have this tangible link to my heritage, as well as immigrants of today.
