Title: Court records assistance please
Post by: Cath19 on Wednesday 21 March 18 16:39 GMT (UK)
Hi
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

My great grand uncle Michael Callahan was naturalised  in the Circuit Court in Boston on Sept 26th 1908. Can these be viewed online as I do not live in the US?

Many thanks in advance :)

Cath

Thank you barryd and iluleah.

The Michael Callahan attached is not the right one but you sent me on my way so I really appreciate it! I think I may have found the correct one, but going by Callaghan ??? and the date seems to be 1902 and not the 1908 which was listed on a passenger listing! Those elusive ancestors of mine were not straight forward!!!

Thank you both again, I really appreciate your help :) :)
