A Family History Feat

Today I received something wonderful from another state. Besides having my husband back from Nashville, I received the documents I requested about a month ago from Illinois concerning Jonathan's great-grandfather, Solomon Boress. I think it's amazing the things I have learned from my Family History calling. I requested the application for Naturalization that Solomon filled out in order to become a U.S. Citizen. In the document he has written the name of the boat that he arrived in which I can then look up on the Ellis Island Records and check out the manifest for more clues. I am very excited!
