The WWI draft registration cards can be obtained two ways: 1) You can order them for a fee from the National Archives Southeast Region, 1557 St. Joseph Avenue, East Point, GA 30344. I am unsure of the present fee. or 2) You can order them on microfilm (presently $3.25 roll) at the LDS Family History Center near you. You must know his name and residence at the time of registration. The records are arranged by state, county and surname, alphabetically within each draft board. A typical card will contain the man's full name and signature, home address, age, birth date, citizenship status, occupation, employer's name and address, race, dependents or nearest relative, and physical description. Some cards will also give city or town, state and nation of birth, previous military service and military status. WWII records are very hard to find. Did your father ever serve in the military? If he only registered, I am not so sure records are available. If he actually served in the military, you might be able to find his discharge papers filed in the county courthouse. In the county I live in, the WWI draft registration cards can be found in the County Courthouse. I have not personally seen them as yet but am told the County Commissioners have possession of them. Some of these cards may also be at a state archives. When doing some newspaper research, I also found the WWI names and numbers published locally. I do not know if they did this for WWII or not. Good luck in your research.
