Thank you to folks who responded to my enquiry about the matter of naturalisation qualifications. This information suits my purpose very well.

Hi Brigid,
Women could be naturalized, although it was uncommon.

I got to thinking, another form of the name Israel is Jacob. I found a naturalization of a Jacob Landsman, wife Fannie in Revere Mass. He was born in Riga, Russia, arrived (from Southampton, Eng) in NY, 1905.

If it's something you'd like to look at, I'll send it along.
