DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Expand/CollapseNATURALIZATION RECORDS INDEXES (MICROFILM SAM 206-I)

LocationReel
SAM 206-I1 circa 1859-1906.
Personal name index to Final Papers, Volumes 3/A-C (Adults) and Volumes B-C (Minors).
The index cards may not be complete or in correct alphabetical order. Researchers who do not find a card for a particular individual in its proper place may want to search the index further and/or consult the naturalization volumes, each of which contains an index.
The cards are arranged alphabetically by surname and given name. The Final Papers are indexed by volume and page number. The cards also include the date of naturalization, which serves as a supplemental indexing aid. Information recorded on the back of some cards appears on the microfilm immediately following the frame containing the name and citation.
