Naturalization Records Index, 1897-1956
Microfilm copy of a personal name card index to final papers (vols. A-B, 1897-1906); petition and record (final papers), Bemidji Office (vols. 1-7, 1907-1954) and Baudette Office (vols. 1-3, 1909-1923).
All of the final papers and the petition and record for the years 1907-1929 are indexed by volume and page number. Beginning in 1930 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 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.
