Okay... what if denied year is on back of card. That is the way the cards were filled out.. Naturalization date on front. But, if denied, the Naturalization date is left blank on the front of the card and the denial date and reason for denial are on the back of the card.

Most projects with cards say to use front and back to complete indexing info. This project says to index front of card only.

So... what do we do about the denial date if on the back of card?

Follow up to this answer - - - 

Date - (New 8/26) - Year -If there is only a two digit number on the document and you can reasonably determine the actual year, add the first two digits of the year.


 * Back to my original question which was "what if you can't"?!?!? Is it correct to add the last two digits only?  I am getting a lot of records like this - virtually none have listed year of birth....all I am seeing is dates of naturalization in the format mm/dd/yy.
