Why these two naturalization cards?

The short answer: Since they are just two different cards indexing largely the exact same records, there is no real difference. The long answer: Both index cards are on US Immigration and Naturalizati

Help - would children on ships records be named? Or just the adults/adults travelling with them

The answer may depend on the date. In United States passenger lists of the early 19th century one might find only "Mr. So-and-so, wife, and 5 children" listed. It gets better as the century progresses

Naturalization Index card states "Missing Record"...lost cause?

Just a possibility, but the missing records may have to do with the 1906 Naturalization Act that went into effect September 27, 1906. I noticed the case just before Abraham's was dated September 24, 1
