Microfilm copy of a personal name card index to final papers (vols. A-E, 1869-1906) and petition and record (vols. 1-13, 1906-1955).
The cards are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence by surname and given name. The Final Papers and volumes 1-7, 1906-1929, of the Petition and Record are indexed by volume and page number. The Petition and Record, columes [8]-13 [1929]-1955 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.
