Mike, I've just used the generic document template and used Military as the event. In the description I noted that the document is WWI draft registration card. Anything on the card that doesn't fit into the template fields is entered in the remarks section. I may change the event to Draft, I'm undecided at the moment but I've only entered two so far. The event Draft would cover WWI and WWII, and also items like my grandfather's WWII draft card that he carried in his wallet.

Hi Terri and Georgia Thanks so much for the helpful suggestions. There is a wealth of information on the WW1 cards and I was a little uncertain as to the best place to put it on the generic form for optimal reference later. At this point I have only entered the information from a few of the 50 or so draft cards into my TMG database and I will enter them into Clooz 2.0 using your guidelines. I'm hoping that when the reports come out with Clooz 2.1 that I will get a better feel for the best place to put the information. I can always move it around then, since I will still be working with a small sample. A queston for Liz: I know how hard you have been working to get Clooz 2.1 out on the market, so I have no intention of bugging you about new development right now. But, out of curiosity, has their been any discussion about standardizing U.S. draft card registration with it's own forms and reports in Clooz? I don't know much about the other wartime periods yet, but my budding knowledge of WW1 cards is that there were just 3 different standard forms, all very similar to each other, that were issued during the 3 different draft calls of the war. They contain a lot of great information, and given the many millions of them that were filled out and the fact that they are now readily available on-line, they would seem to me to be great candidates for their own slot in Clooz.
