It has recently emerged that the central limit theorem and iterated logarithm law for random walk processes have natural counterparts for Galton-Watson processes with or without immigration. Much of the work on these counterparts has previously involved the imposition of supplementary moment conditions. In this paper we show how to dispense with these supplementary conditions and in so doing make the analogy with the random walk results complete.
