Thanks very much for all the good info. I'm learning so much from our MDALLEGA mailing list. My cousins and I have been trying to find Pop's WWI draft card but haven't had any success (even with "Soundex"). Pop, Samuel B. McFarlane, was born Aug 11, 1891. He would have been about 27 in 1918. I wonder if coal miners had exemption? Thanks, ~ Chere Redrabbitt@aol.com wrote: About World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 This database contains an index and images of World War I draft registration cards completed by approximately 24 million men living in the U.S. in 1917 and 1918. Information that may be found for an individual includes: name, place of residence, date and place of birth, race, country of citizenship, occupation, and employer. In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United States completed a World War I draft registration card. These registration cards represent approximately 98% of the men under the age of 46. The total U.S. population in 1917-1918 was about 100 million individuals. In other words, close to 25% of the total population is represented in these records. The WWI draft registration cards database can be an extremely useful resource because it covers a significant portion of the U.S. male population in the early twentieth-century. If you had family in the United States during WWI, you are likely to find at least one relative’s information within this large collection. In addition, these cards contain more than just names and dates; they contain significant genealogical information such as birthplace, citizenship status, and information on the individual’s nearest relative.

Chere, I think that you are on the right track with the William in Rawlings. I found him in Lonaconing in 1900 and in Rawlings from 1910 to 1930. The data remains consistent from 1880 through 1930. Another clue, though not conclusive, is that he named his first son James and first daughter Anna/Anne, the names of his parents. Speaking of names, in 1880, there is a Clara S McKenzie, Daughter of Thornton G and Mary M McKenzie, living in Rawlings. I would be willing to bet that she is William's wife. Both Thronton & Mary died in 1892 and are buried in the McKenzie cemetery. Below is all the census data.

William and Mary Strahin had three known children, William, James and Mary. James married Sallie LEE. William married ?? Mary married 1st Washington WHITE, 2nd John C. HUGGINS.

About World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 This database contains an index and images of World War I draft registration cards completed by approximately 24 million men living in the U.S. in 1917 and 1918. Information that may be found for an individual includes: name, place of residence, date and place of birth, race, country of citizenship, occupation, and employer. In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United States completed a World War I draft registration card. These registration cards represent approximately 98% of the men under the age of 46. The total U.S. population in 1917-1918 was about 100 million individuals. In other words, close to 25% of the total population is represented in these records. The WWI draft registration cards database can be an extremely useful resource because it covers a significant portion of the U.S. male population in the early twentieth-century. If you had family in the United States during WWI, you are likely to find at least one relative’s information within this large collection. In addition, these cards contain more than just names and dates; they contain significant genealogical information such as birthplace, citizenship status, and information on the individual’s nearest relative.
