Each entry gives the applicant's name, and the volume and the page containing the naturalization document. Early entries include Cook County.

Names in each section are grouped alphabetically by the first letter of the applicant's surname, and within each group are listed by naturalization volume, in the order in which the naturalization entries were recorded.
