WORLD WAR I DRAFT REGISTRATION CARDS

I am finally getting the time to add some very interesting information to this site that I was able to access from Ancestry.Com several months ago. This is information taken from several World War I Draft Registration cards for some of our male Self relatives. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. Any comments concerning this or other information found on this site are always welcomed.
