Here's a comment on that subject from March 18th. Another lister respond the next day that the cards were on film in Room 400 at the National Archives. Frank Dunnigan Hi list, The National Archives in DC (and all of the branches) have these WWI draft registration cards on microfilm. This is a really great resource that few people seem to know about. You do need to know where the person lived in 1917/1918 but otherwise it's pretty easy to use these films. One of the best things about the draft registration cards is that they give some information about the men's height, build, and eye and hair color, which is not something that one can generally find in other sources. They also list next of kin and often a place of work. I found both of my grandfathers and all of my great uncles cards in a few hours one day down at the Archives. -Bryan- -----Original Message----- From: brizz444@aol.com <brizz444@aol.com> To: WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com <WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, May 06, 2002 11:49 AM Subject: [WashingtonDC'' ] WWI Registration >Hi List, > >I can't seem to get my bearings on where to get info on individuals in the DC >area who registered for WWI. >Anyone have a clue?
