Mary Anne had two other sisters resident in the USA at the time, Mrs Christina Matheson and Mrs Mary Joan Pauley, but it was to Catherine’s home in Long Island that she made her way, not for a holiday but as a base to find work.
...
They were that she was moving to the USA permanently, that it was her intention to seek American citizenship, and in the section asking “whether alien intends to return to country whence he (sic) came” the answer she gives is no.
...
Clinching proof that she was already an American citizen in all but name was that she was travelling on a “re-entry permit” obtained from Washington on March 3, 1934 – such permits were only granted to immigrants intending to stay and become US citizens. As with her first voyage westward, the document states Mary Anny paid her own travel costs. Again she is listed as a “domestic” and states she will be going to live with her sister Catherine Reid at Glen Head, Long Island.
That arrangement did not last long. The 1940 census record states that in April 1935, Mary Anne was living at 175/24 Devonshire Road in New York, the Trump family residence. That 1940 census also erroneously records that Mary Ann was a naturalised American citizen, but records show her naturalisation did not take place until March 10, 1942.
