Karen that is a great place to look for information -- Usually they had to have a draft card even if they weren't drafted or enlisted. Also another site I recently found is http://www.genealogysearch.org/ I dug deeper on that site and found the passenger list for a ship my Great Great Grandfather was on--- had always heard the stories of how he arrived here but did not know for sure -- I definitely need to do further research on this though .

Look at the World War I Draft Registration Cards. They have lots of information in them. Name, address, next of kin, Description of the person, Place of employment etc. This is a great resource.
