WWI CIVILIAN REGISTRATION

Many Louisiana



Description: In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men, (98% of men

present in America), born between 1873 and 1900 completed draft registration

cards. This civilian registration is often confused with induction into the

military; however, a minority of those civilian men who registered were

actually ever called up for military service. During these two years, three

registration days were held in which the registrants completed a registration

card that generally included, among other information: birth date, birth

location, father's birth location, and the address of next of kin. 



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
