Just thought I would pass this on to my fellow researchers. Ancestry.com has a fantastic database that I just recently found that has been beneficial in identifying many of my ancestors. It not only gives their names, date of birth, current address, their height, color of eyes and color of hair, but in many cases their father, mothers or wife's name and address and in some cases, their place of birth. The following is the description of the database. "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."
