 DETAILED DESCRIPTION Naturalization Records Index (Microfilm SAM 57-I) SAM 57-I 1 1882-1906, 1930-1944.

Personal name card indexes to final papers (Volumes 1-6, 1882-1906), and petition and record (Volume 3, 1930-1944.)

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 in each index 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 sequence should search the index further and/or consult the naturalization records, many of which contain indexes.
