I understand there is more information than just the card in most files. At the last seminar I attended, a few weeks ago, the genealogist said you can get the image from Ancestry.com (or at any LDS History Center) and then write to request copies of the full files. It may take a while to receive them, but you will receive the copies and there isn't usually a charge, although it says there will be one. -----Original Message----- From: MI-GENEALOGY-L-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:MI-GENEALOGY-L-request@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Carolyn K. McGrath Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 10:51 AM To: MI-GENEALOGY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MI-Genealogy] REGISTRATION CARDS FOR WW1 Images of these draft registration cards are on ancestry.com. Search for your ancestor and the card will be under military records. Sometimes the writing is difficult to read. There is no space on the card to designate the name of a spouse; however, there is a space for next of kin The cards also tell a person's body build, hair and eye color.. It will not give the wife's maiden name. All men between certain ages (can't remember the lower limit but 46 was the upper limit), even those who were not citizens, were required to register. carolyn in rhode island Andrea Hadley wrote: >FOR RECORDS FROM WWI AND WWII YOU HAVE TO WRITE TO: >NATIONAL PERSONNEL RECORDS CENTER >MILITARY PERSONNEL RECORDS >9700 PAGE AVENUE >ST.
