The records contain a wealth of information about the declarant. You will
find more than just the name, age, and present address.  Included are the
birth date and location of birth, a physical description of the person, and
the method of transport to the United States together with the port of
entry. Some information may be missing due to the declarant's omission.
(See example below)

As additional research help, indices provide the then-current addresses to
help locate other relatives who may have filed their Declarations during the
same period.  Appendix two is an alphabetical index by location of the
places that the declarants claimed as their birthplaces.  Separate indices
cover Volumes 1&2 and Volumes 3&4.
