MARQUETTE, MI--   Ten people now have all the advantages afforded to U.S. citizens following a naturalization ceremony Thursday.

Men and women from nine different countries became Americans at the federal courthouse in Marquette.  Judge R. Allan Edgar presided as the ten took the oath to become citizens.

Following the ceremony the newly naturalized residents were able to register to vote.
