Listers: Just a little advice when you receive records, data, etc. In my haste to read the papers that Joyce Adgate sent, I neglected to read correctly the dates on the D.I. copy. Patrick KELLY's D.I. was the 27th of Aug, 1844, and his "swearing-in"/naturalization was one year later, to the day, 27th of Aug, 1845. So, he was naturalized, and I do have the information that I need. My thanks to all who have helped with this search! <G> Regards, Marybeth C.
