 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS Naturalization Records Index (Microfilm SAM 23-I) SAM 23-I 1 1856-1906.

Microfilm copy of a personal name card index to final papers (vols. A-D, 1856-1906).

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 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.
