(Her name apparently got separated from her post in one of the forwards before it made it here to PABUTLER.) She wanted to have this forwarded to any lists where the original appeared. ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date forwarded: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 04:44:53 -0700 (PDT) From: "Linda Haas Davenport" <[email protected]> Date sent: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 06:10:47 -0400 Subject: WWI Draft Cards - clarification I received about a dozen e-mails this morning all asking the same question so I know that I was not clear in my post yesterday. If you forwarded my message about the WWI draft cards being at the GA NARA branch will you please also forward this message? The original draft card applications (registrations) for every state (the entire US) are at East Pointe. According to the Archive Staff there are no plans to split these cards and move any of them to any other NARA location since East Pointe has been charged with the "custody" of these records. It is only the original cards that are in state / county / alpha order. Someone posted a message to one of the lists that NARA was planning on re-filming the cards since they are now in state / county / alpha order. If such a thing is underway it is unknown to the East Pointe archive staff and they should know if such a thing was in the works. If you request a copy of your ancestor's draft card from any NARA branch other than this one they will be searching the LDS microfilm and you will have to know the state and draft board for them to make a copy. It is only at the East Pointe location that you can request a copy by state and then county and the copy will be made from the ORIGINAL card. If I'm still unclear please let me know.
