I just received this from the Family Tree Magazine Email Newsletter. When you search through the Series: World War II Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File, 6/1/2002 - 9/30/2002 the Wisconsin State Code Number is 63 and the Juneau County Code Number is 057. Jackie ENLISTING SUPPORT This month the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) added WWII enlistment records for 9 million soldiers to its Access to Archival Databases (AAD) online resource at http://www.archives.gov/aad. The records are part of the World War II Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File of information from NARA's scans of microfilmed WWII enlistment punch cards. You can search the database by Army serial number, name, state, county, place of enlistment and birth year. Results show those facts plus enlistment date, birthplace, race, education level, civilian occupation and marital status. The database doesn't have records for officers, members of other military branches, non-WWII enlistments, or the 1.5 million enlistments on poor-quality microfilms that couldn't be scanned. It does contain records for the 130,000-plus women in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Enlistees wrote their names and serial numbers on the punch cards, along with codes for their personal information. Then they punched the holes corresponding to the codes. AAD translates the punch-outs for you. The original cards no longer exist. You can see the microfilms of them at NARA's College Park, Md., facility, but the films show the same information that's in AAD. Michael Carlson, NARA's director of electronic media records, says that most, but not all, errors in AAD's listings also are on the microfilm. AAD is the first public site developed under NARA's Electronic Records Archives Program. That may explain why it doesn't scream "user-friendly"-it's cluttered, the instructions are in governmentspeak and it lacks advice on what to do with a record once you've found it. Carlson suggests reading the frequently asked questions and search tips before using the site. You can use the information in your ancestor's listing to request his military personnel records (see http://www.archives.gov/research_room/obtain_copies/veterans_service_records.html for information) or as proof of service for purposes such as obtaining commemorative markers.
