Yes, Ancestry has completed quite an undertaking but out of the seven people I looked up not ONE of the images matched to the printed info for the individual.

I had extremely good luck with the database, was thrilled to find my father, grandfather, two uncles in it. I also ventured over to the WWII military records and found the notice of my husband being wounded when a Marine during WW2, official notice was sent to his father, and my husband's subsequent enlistment in the Army for service in post-war-Germany. Frankly, I was thrilled with the opening of the database. And, you can't beat seeing those beautiful old writing signatures of relatives on those draft cards.

from all the lists I am on, outside of just a slow system because of this additional load, yours is the first with a complaint about the name image relationship.. why not ask on the list for others to look up a name and see what they get on the image... give name and state or some specific criteria... the opportunity to find info for free is a good one... and it will not last long... so it would behoove you to make sure you are using the right code to get to the image.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Ernest Geissler<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2005 3:24 PM Subject: RE: [IL-CHICAGO] In case you dont already know WWI registrations UNTIL THE 25th Yes, Ancestry has completed quite an undertaking but out of the seven people I looked up not ONE of the images matched to the printed info for the individual.
