I got mine at the Atlanta archives back when you could take the box to the
copier and copy as many as you wanted at a time, so my template doesn't have
information for online.

[SUBJECT] World War I Draftcard<, [DATE]><, [FILE NUMBER]><. Official
record held by [REPOSITORY INFO]><. [PRESENT OWNER]><, [CD]><. Hereinafter
cited as "[SHORT TITLE]">: <[FILE REFERENCE]>, <[SOURCE NUMBER]>.

Subject: [TMG] Source template for W. W. ! Draft cards

Has anyone constructed a source template for the W. W. I Draft Cards now
online at Ancestry?

If this question has come up before please accept my apologies. I just
recently rejoined the list after a long hiatus.

I have just received Quick Sheet and am a little disappointed.. Over
the years I have written my own templates based on what I thought was
Mills format. I am a SERIOUS fan of Ms. Mills work but...

My census cites are pretty close to Mills EXCEPT although I always PRINT
everything out and include "printout" dates I really don't record the
date I printed out a census image. When I transcribed census films I
didn't include the date I wrote down this information did I? Evidence
didn't suggest including this information either!

When I printed out information from my CDs I didn't include exact time I
printed them did I?? Although I guess I could have..I have been gong
through some old files and I noticed th huge boldfaced print including
the exact DATE and TIME that I printed out the images. Previously
printouts from Heritage Quest CDs had included information useful in
constructing a citation page numbers, film series and roll number,
etc.... My DH had installed my latest CD and I looked at him and
Hissed, "What is this date time rubbish???" and he informed me that my
new CD had required a new reader and that furthemore my other census CDs
would probably now work the same way. <snarl>!!!!

<grin> Please excuse this diatribe. I think I will keep my online census
citations the way they are..

Back to my original question. <smile> How is everyone citing the draft
cars? I am planning to use printout dates for these and I do think I
would like to use individual citations for these cards.


Ancestry of course does include a citation format, but I was thinking
that according to Mills the citation should be something like.

National Archives and Records Administration, "World War I Selective
Service and Draft Registration Cards 1917-1918", subscription database
and digital images, Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com>;, entry for John
Smith: printout dated 05 August 2006.

"World War I Selective Service and Draft Registration Cards 1917-1918"
for Jon Smith.

Washington D. C. National Archives and Records Administration "World
War I Selective Service and Draft Registration Cards 1917-1918"
Subscription database and and digital Images. Ancestry.com.
