Hi Richard,
Could you expand a little more on the above sentence, please? I have several Naturalizations that have that statement, "arrived under 18". What benefit would they derive for stating that?
Your reply was very informative. Several of my relatives were vouched for by a James Mullins. I can't find any blood relationship between him and my families. I was thinking he might have been an alderman from the Sandy Banks area in Scranton where so many of my relatives lived, or a principle in an Irish organization, but you mentioned this person could have also been an employer. Interesting.
Nice to hear your comments always. Mary Casey
