Additions for September 2002
 Ancestry.com
has begun the massive undertaking of scanning 24 million WWI Draft Cards.
The initial post contained 100,000 images from the state of Pennsylvania.
They will continue posting 100,000 images a week until the project is complete.
The draft cards are as detailed in information as they are comprehensive
in scope. Possible the most exciting news is that Ancestry will not be
making a new subscription of this collection but rather will be adding
this to the U.S. and Canada Collection. They feel that the best way to
promote this new collection is by selling it as an added bonus to the U.S.
and Canada collection. This will be especially helpful for the first little
while when the bulk of the images are not yet complete.
Cards include
data on:
-
Registrant's full name
-
Age and birth date
-
Home addres
-
Citizenship status
-
Birthplace
-
Occupation and employer
-
Family relationships (marital status,
children)
|
-
Physical appearance
-
And more!
