Here are mine since I don't know when my website will respond again. As soon
as I can, I will get the page up.
FIRST REGISTRATION:MEN BORN BETWEEN 05 Jun 1886 and 05 Jun 1896:
[:CR:][:TAB:]Due to a need for men to serve during World War I, the United
States instituted a draft. The first registration was for men between the
ages of 21 and 31. As a result, this first registration included men born
between June 5, 1886 and June 5, 1896. [R:First Registration] filled out a
draft card <[D]> < [L]>. <[M]>
SECOND REGISTRATIONMEN BORN BETWEEN 05 Jun 1896 and 05 Jun 1897 AND 05 Jun
1897 and 24Aug 1897: [:CR:][:TAB:]As World War I continued to escalate, the
United States instituted a second draft registration. The second
registration was for men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1917, so it added
men born between June 5, 1896 and June 5, 1897. Two months later, a
supplemental registration was held on August 24, 1918 for men who had become
21 years of age since June 5, 1918, adding the names of men who were born
between June 5, 1897 and August 24, 1897. [R:Second Registration] filled out
a draft card <[D]> < [L]>. <[M]>
THIRD AND FINALREGISTRATIONMENBORN BETWEEN 12 Sep 1896 and 12 Sep 1900 AND
12Sep 1873 and 12 Sep 1888: [:CR:][:TAB:]With no end in sight for World War
I, the United States instituted it's third and final registration. It
included all men who were between the ages of 18 and 21, and 31 to 45 years
of age. This added younger men than the previous registrations, those who
were born between September 12, 1897 and September 12, 1900; and added an
older group of men, born between September 12, 1873 and September 12, 1888.
[R:Third Registration] filled out a draft card <[D]> < [L]>. <[M]>
I am working on a next of kin role sentence, but haven't figured out how I
want it to read. If you decide to use these, you could keep your nearest
relative role. And just add that sentence to the end of each of these.
