DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Expand/CollapseNATURALIZATION RECORDS INDEXES (MICROFILM SAM 76-I)

LocationReel
SAM 76-I1 1852-1854.
Personal name index to Declarations of Intention, 1859-1952 (Volumes A-M, I-VI, 7-8); Final Papers, 1852-1906 (Volumes OA, A-[J], L.F); and Petition and Record, 1907-1954 (Volumes I-X, 11-15).

For Final Papers Volumes [G]-[J], and for Petition and Record Volumes I-VIII, however, an unidentified number is recorded in place of the volume number, and the certificate of naturalization number is recorded in place of the page number.
