Thanks Judy!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 7:21 AM Subject: [NEW-HAMPSHIRE] RE: World War I Ancestry has opened up it's World War 1 Draft Registration records for visitors of Access Genealogy for free. This will cover a 14 day period between July 4 - July 17 2005. The only thing required to view the records is an email address and your name. No credit card required! This is not a 14 day trial of all of their material. It is strictly limited to their World War 1 Draft Registration images. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/ 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. In general, the registration cards included the following information Full name Home address Date and place of birth Age, race, and country of citizenship Occupation and employer Physical description (hair and eye color, height, disabilities) Additional information such as address of nearest relative, dependent relatives, marital status, father's birthplace, or previous exemption from service Signature. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/ Direct url: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/military/ww1/draft.htm ==== NEW-HAMPSHIRE Mailing List ==== RootsWeb Mailing Lists Archives: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl New Hampshire GenWeb: http://www.rootsquest.com/~usgwnhus/index.html List Administrator: Mariana Bean Ruggles [email protected]
Hello, After finding an ancestor on this listing, where do you go to verify that they actually fought in WWI? I understand that locating them on these WWI Registration Cards does not automatically mean they served in the War.

If you have access to Ancestry.com they have a list of soldiers who served. If you don't have access write me with a name, place / State, dob. You can also try a Google search of 'Soldiers of WWI'. It will give you several sites to explore.
