DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Expand/CollapseNATURALIZATION RECORDS INDEX (MICROFILM SAM 55-I)

LocationReel
SAM 55-I1 1858-1906, 1930-1943.
The cards are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence by surname and given name.
They provide a personal name card index to final papers (Volumes A-J, 1858-1906), and petition and record (Volumes 8-9, 1930-1943). The final papers are indexed by volume and page number. The petition and record are indexed by petition number. The cards also include the date of naturalization or the number and date of the certificate of naturalization, which serve as supplemental indexing aids.
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.
