Court records assistance please
« 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 :)

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 :) :)
