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. Originally posted to Ancestry.com in January of 1998 and taken from the original draft cards, this database provides information on a fraction of the men registered. This update, part of an ongoing project, adds over 200,000 names to the previously posted database and brings the total number of names provided to almost 900,000. It adds information on registrants from Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, and Vermont. 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. NOTE: This database, although providing information on only 3.75% of all men registered, represents approximately 10% of all counties nationwide. Researchers will find complete coverage of Alaska, Delaware, Idaho and Nevada and a good representation from Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Vermont.
