Thanks for responding Nancy. In 1910, John was in Chester, and in 1920 and 1930, he was in Moorestown. I have done a cursory check of WWI registration cards just to check the box, but the birth date is wrong so I wasn't expecting too much. WWI registration was for men born between 1886 and 1900. I don't think he would have had a social security card either since he died in 1936. ~Traycie Save Fort Monroe - Virginia History, American Heritage "And though she be but little, she is fierce." -----Original Message----- From: lower-delmarva-roots-request <lower-delmarva-roots-request@rootsweb.com> To: lower-delmarva-roots <lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wed, Nov 7, 2012 9:10 am Subject: LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS Digest, Vol 7, Issue 158 LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS Administrivia For information about the Lower Delmarva Roots Mailing List, including list guidelines and instructions for unsubscribing and subscribing, see the LDRoots FAQ: http://www.tyaskin.com/handley/ldrfaq.htm Today's Topics: 1.

My TILGHMAN's were in Springfield Twp, Burlington County. Do you know what township in Burlington Co your "WEST" was in? Did you find him in the WWI draft registrations?
