In 1917 and 1918, approximately
24 million men (98% of men present in America) born between 1873 and 1900 completed draft
registration cards. During these two years, three registration days were held in each
district where the registrant completed the registration card. Information found on these cards
generally included, among other information, birth date, birth location, father's
birthplace, and the address of next of kin. This civilian registration is often confused with
induction into the military; however, only a small percentage of these men were actually
called up for military service.
It should be noted that aliens
were required to register but were not subject to induction
into the American military.
Persons already in the military did not register. Recent
Italian emigrants wrote
their last names first, resulting in some cards being filed
under first names. Cards
of Hispanics may be filed under their mother's maiden name
surname if the registrant
gave both parents' surnames. Also, men who resided in
British territories sometimes
listed themselves simply as British citizens without noting
their origin in Canada,
Australia, Ireland, Jamaica, etc. Illiterate men were unable
to spell their names and
birth location, so researchers should be quite flexible in
searching for the spelling of names of illiterate men.
