At the catalog page, select Place Search. Type in New York. When the records for New York are displayed, go to Military Records. (There are over 260 entries for the state of New York; military records will be found between 151 and 200.) When you get to Military Records, find World War I and click on it; scroll down to Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918. There are 442 rolls of film for NY organized alphabetically by county and city. Find Onondaga county; there are four films, divided by draft board number. Ancestry.com gives the draft board number; you'll need this to narrow your search. If you've never used a Family History Center before, tell the assistant on duty and you will be shown how to order the film. Good luck.
