The Rhode Island Supreme Court Judicial Records Center now has
a Web site that may be useful to genealogy researchers. The records are not available
online, but the Web site does provide an easy method of ordering photocopies.
Anyone may use the forms available on the Archives page of the Web site to request
information about specific naturalization records, divorce records, civil cases
or criminal cases.
The Judicial Archives includes these cases from the following
time periods:
- naturalization records 1793 to 1974
- divorce cases 1749 to 1900
- civil cases 1671 to 1900
- criminal cases 1671 to 1900
The Rhode Island Supreme Court Judicial Records Center Web site
is available at: www.judicial-records.state.ri.us.
