DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS
SAM 57-I
1
Naturalization records index,
1882-1906, 1930-1944.
Microfilm copy of personal name card indexes to final papers
(vols. 1-6, 1882-1906), and petition and record (vol. 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.
