Common Census Abbreviations
http://genealogy.about.com/cs/census/a/abbreviations.htm

No matter where in the world they are taken, census schedules usually
offer
very little room. Therefore, census takers often found it necessary to
use
abbreviations to get all of the required information onto the census
form.
These abbreviations - ranging from Na for naturalized to AdD for adopted

daughter -- can provide important information that you should not
overlook!

Examples:

Citizenship Status Codes:
Al - Alien (not naturalized)
Pa - First papers filed (declaration of intent)
Na - Naturalized
NR - Not recorded or not reported

Household & Soundex Abbreviations:
Ad - Adopted Ad
AdCl - Adopted Child
AdD - Adopted Daughter
