More from Rootsweb Review 9 Nov: Note that Ancestry.com is as subscription service for individuals. However there are some public libraries that have a subscription that allows library patrons to use the service for free if you can figure out how to do it. Computers with Internet connections at LDS Family History Centers also allow use of the LDS subscription to Ancestry.com. Volunteers at your FHC may be able to show you how it works. --------------------------------------- Ancestry.com announces completion of the WWI Draft Registration Card Collection, which contains about 24 million names. These cards are particularly useful because they represent everyone that registered for the draft, including many that never served in the military. The collection does not include all active military during this period, but 98 percent of men under the age of 46 in the U.S. completed a registration card in 1917 and 1918. These cards often provide: Full name; home address, date and place of birth; age, race, and country of citizenship; occupation and employer, and physical description (hair and eye color, height, any disabilities). Other information that might be included is address of nearest or dependent relatives, marital status, father's birthplace, or previous exemption from military service, and their signature. Subscribers to Ancestry.com will be able to access these valuable genealogical records. If you have an ancestor or relative who was between the ages of 18 and 45 from 1917 to 1918 (born ca 1872-1900) you may be able to find him in this database. http://www.ancestry.com/ Karen
