Not all naturalisation records have been indexed yet either.

I used this for 2 full years, and I found a great deal of information. There were passport applications and naturalizations that were complete and contained a wealth of information, but the the single greatest find was a Civil War Navy Widow's Pension! 75 pages of information that solved many riddles, and this record was not available any place else. The city directories are helpful, again depending upon the area of interest. What suprised me was the Revolutionary War pension files: through one data base, I'd received on average 8 pages per pension, and I thought they were complete files. They were not. I've found two that are over 50 pages (sorry, don't recall the number). It helps to search before buying to see what's available.
