I've come across a Canada Registration Board card for my great-grandmother which registered her for "national purposes of Canada" in 1918 at her residence in Three Hills, AB. I wondered if this was a similar program to the National Registration of 1940 and if these records were also available for genealogical purposes? Thanks kindly. Cheers, -- Laury Walkey (Miss) BC, Canada

Hi Laury, About 8 years ago - I wrote to the Govt - re the same . I was informed that this information is not available - can't remember if these files had been destroyed or?
