Jan,
Thank you for this "heads up". I found some useful information on my
grandfather. I also opened up each entry with my family's surname and
jotted down the cities and/or provinces they came. I'm hoping this will
give me a better idea of the area(s) where the name may have originated.
One thing that gave me pause was when I downloaded the blank form and
printed it, the left hand corner says "If person is of African descent, cut
off this corner". Yikes!! Does anyone know what to make of this?
Thanks again,
Jann

Subject: [Ger-Sur] Free Database - USA - WWI Registration Cards
Hello Listers..
Well, another "good source" is again free this time for two weeks.July 4 to
July 17.
Go to this website: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/military/ww1/draft.htm
"Ancestry has opened up its World War 1 Draft
Registration records for visitors of Access
Genealogy for free. The only
thing required to view the records is an email
address and your name. No credit card required!
This is not a 14 day trial of all of their
material. It is strictly limited to their World
War 1 Draft Registration images.
I went to the site (after clicking on its address on the
accessgenealogy site and started searching. Even after
I clicked to see the image, I was not asked for anything.
However,I have registered there in the past and perhaps that
is why.
This database covers the years 1917 and 1918. It shows the
person's name, age, birth date, where born, citizenship,
where living now, occupation, employer, dependent relatives,
and a good physical description.
Hope everyone finds something useful!!
Cheers,
Jan
