Just a note on the WWI Draft Registration: If your ancestor was of age he was required to fill out a draft registration card. Even if he was not drafted, these cards are on microfilm at the National Archives. They are organized by state and county. I viewed these records at the NA branch in NYC and located draft cards for NJ & NY people. New England information is located in the Waltham, MA branch. For other parts of the country check with the closest NA. Also, the people I found were not located in the Ancestry.Com index for WWI registrations. This index is far from complete so don't count on it! Susan
