DETAILED DESCRIPTION Naturalization Records Indexes (Microfilm SAM 16-I and Microfilm 16) SAM 16-I 1 Personal name card indexes.

Personal card index to: Declaration of Intention (First Papers), Volumes 1-8, 1909-1914; and Petition and Record (Final Papers), Volumes 1-52, 1909-1967.

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.

The cards are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence by surname and given name. Each card indexes either the Declarations of Intention or the Petition and Record or both. The Declarations of Intention are indexed by the declaration number and date. The Petition and Record are indexed by volume number, petition number, and filing date; the number and date of the certificate of naturalization also are given.
