Good evening one of the people I am following seems to have gone to the USA and I have found some images on Ancestry but I don't have a world subscription. I imagine they are going to answer some interesting questions

I wonder if someone who has a world subscription to Ancestry and is willing to help me out could send me the images for

Detroit Border Crossings 1905-1957
Broder crossing from Canada to US 1895-1954
US Naturalisation record 1794 -1995
Social Security death Index 1964

I would be forever grateful

Many thanks

Janet

Very little on the naturalisation:

Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1954
Name: George Hallsor
Arrival Date: Mar 1924
Port of Arrival: Detroit, Michigan, United States
Ship Name: Canadian Pacific Railroad
Age: 22
Birth Date: abt 1902
Birth Country: England
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: English
Record Type: Manifests

There is no occupation listed, he seems to be alone. The town he had lived in looks like "Smiley", "no relatives" is written in the column of person to visit.

The word "DEBARRED" is stamped next to his name so it looks like he was refused entry.
