Every file that is a single 10x14 summary or cross reference card has been reproduced. If less than 10 pages in the file all are reproduced, if more than 10 only the more significant genealogical documents have been reproduced. Same selection criteria as File Group M805. Most of these are found in M805 but this series includes correspondence about the application.
Rolls are alphabetical.
