Naturalization 1940 data entry page 4-Unknown

[EveSnyder]

Change Un-Unknown to 4-Unknown. In 1940 the clerks wrote 4 in pencil under naturalization if they couldn't confirm the person's status. I've told transcribers to look for that and its in the documentation but they don't always remember. The visual cue of the 4-Unknown on the data entry page would be very helpful.

@EveSnyder What are 1, 2, and 3? I don't see it here: https://1940census.archives.gov/questions-asked.asp

Anyway 4-Unknown will be there soon.

Oops, sorry, a little context. There was no 1, 2, or 3. The number 4 was a code they decided to use for when the clerk couldn't verify the person's naturalization status and therefore it was unknown. Kind of like the 7 following the M for married but spouse living elsewhere
