    1. [GENMASSACHUSETTS] GREEN(E), ca 1850--First Papers?
    2. My ancestor, Matthew GREEN(E), died at Boston 1853 and is buried at the Rindge Ave. Cemetery, Cambridge. Matthew was a native of Co. Cork and was a tailor by trade. Ha was married to Margaret McCARTHY, also of Co. Cork. AND Matthew's brother William, also a tailor was living in Boston's North End. Matthew probably wasn't in the country long enough to be naturalized. But it's my understanding immigrants in that time period had to file "first papers", which was the prelude to naturalization. Is there a central location for the first papers, or is it hit and miss in trying to find them? thanks, Charles
