DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Location

Reel

SAM 27-I

1931-1954.

Microfilm copy of a personal name card index to Petition and Record (final papers), vols. 2-3, 1931-1954.

The cards are arranged in alphabetical order by surname and given name. The Final Papers are indexed by volume and page number. The cards also include the number and date of the certificate of naturalization, which serves as a supplemental indexing aid.

The cards were not checked for completeness or correct alphabetical order prior to microfilming. Researchers who do not find a card for a particular individual in its proper place should search the index further and/or consult the naturalization records, many of which contain indexes.
