The info on the naturalization index cards is generally pretty
complete. If the index card leaves blank an item like
birthdate, then the birthdate most likely will not appear on
the original naturalization papers. That does not mean you
should forego examination of the original documents - there's
no way of knowing ahead of time what clues you may find there.

You may or may not find a certification of the Declaration of
Intention filed with the naturalization papers. Follow up
by getting a copy of the original DOI.

The name of the court should be stamped on the index card,
but I believe NARA has at least photostatic copies of all the
naturalization papers which appear on the index cards.
