DETAILED DESCRIPTION Naturalization Records Index (Microfilm SAM 22-I) SAM 22-I 1 1870-1945.

Microfilm copy of a personal name card index to final papers (vols. A-F, 1870-1906) and petition and record (final papers, vols. 1-6 [7], 1906-1945).

The cards are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence by surname and given name. The Final Papers and volumes 1-2 (part) of the Petition and Record are indexed by volume and page number. Volumes 2 (part) -6[7] of the Petition and Record are indexed by volume and petition number. The cards also include the date 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.
