I am a Reference Archivist working in Genealogy for a State Archives. This book has provided help for many of my frustrated patrons who are looking for naturalization records of their ancestors. This book is very easy to use. The names are in alphabetical order. Each name has a corresponding numerical key which links it directly to the source it is cited in. I have never had a problem of not being able to find a name. More often than not Patrons have later told me that the books indexed in the Passenger and immigration lists have provided more information than the naturalization records themselves. But Buyer BEWARE! This is ONLY an INDEX it does not have the complete records. It only tells you where the name is located so further research is necessary in order to find the book and this could entail further travel and time. To Diehard "genies" however, this book is a definent lifesaver and should be in every genealogical, historical, reference, and archival library.
