DESOTO CO., MS BIRTH INFORMATION: RESIDENTS OF THIS COUNTY IN 1917-18 AND PERSONS WITH LINKS TO THIS COUNTY The information below was abstracted by Raymond H. Banks from civilian registration cards completed in 1917-1918. All rights reserved. Some men do not have birth locations listed because they registered on the final draft registration day in 1918 when this information was not recorded. Almost 24 million men registered for the draft. CAUTION: Middle Eastern and East European national boundaries and country names were quite different than those seen on today's maps. Microfilm copies of the original cards are maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints (LDS...the Mormons). Researchers can probably order loaner copies of specific reels from Salt Lake City through requests at local LDS family history centers. Payment for mailing costs is required. Catalog subject heading: UNITED STATES -- MILITARY RECORDS -- WORLD WAR I [although these records are not actually military records]. Orginal cards are kept at the National Archives branch near Atlanta, Georgia. The compiler has not abstracted the registrant's address the name and address of next of kin, occupation, work address, general physical description and occasionally listed general description of a disability. Please consult the original card to verify all information. 1ST COLUMN: NAME 2ND COLUMN: BIRTH DATE 3RD COLUMN: ETHNIC GROUP 4TH COLUMN: BIRTH LOCATION OR OTHER INFO (spelling unreliable) OTHER COLUMNS: LOCATION OF REGISTRATION Abernathy, Spurgeon 12 Feb 1893 W Olive Branch MS Pemiscot MO Abernathy, Spurgeon 12 Feb 1893 W lives in Conady (Canady) MO Pemiscot MO Abram, Edgar May 1887 B Jago MS De Soto MS Abrom, Edgar May 1887 B Jago MS De Soto MS Abrom, Hanibal (Honibal) 3 Feb 1890 B Jago MS De Soto MS Abrom, James 22 Nov 1900 B De Soto MS Abrom, John 23 Nov 1900 B De Soto MS Abron, Buford 23 Mar 1899 B De Soto MS Abron, John 5 Dec 1885 B De Soto MS Abston, Ben 1885 B De Soto MS Acree, Andrew Johnson 4 Jul 1881 W De Soto MS Acree, Edwin Kellogg 11 Jul 1884 W De Soto MS Acree, Frank Jefferson 6 Jan 1883 W De Soto MS Acree, Henry Cleveland 20 Feb 1885 W De Soto MS Acree, Jullian Edward 21 Jan 1878 W De Soto MS Acree, Willie 7 Mar 1888 W Olive Branch MS De Soto MS Adams, Andy 1896 B Olive Branch MS De Soto MS Adams, Clem 28 May 1885 B [card filed in Ava section] De Soto MS Adams, Earnest 15 Nov 1898 B [card filed in Ava section] De Soto MS Adams, Eddie abt 1900 B [card filed in Ava section] De Soto MS Adams, Edgar 27 Nov 1887 B G__e [Glome?] MS De Soto MS Adams, George Washington 17 Mar 1882 B De Soto MS Adams, Govenor 28 Jan 1897 B Glover MS Tunica MS Adams, Henry 5 Apr 1874 B De Soto MS Adams, Jessie 24 Mar 1892 B Walls MS Crittenden AR Adams, Jim 1895 B Olive Branch MS De Soto MS Adams, Julius 28 Jul 1898 B Meridian MS De Soto MS Adams, Mont 9 Jun 1883 B De Soto MS Adams, Onley 21 Mar 1891 B Olive Branch MS De Soto MS Adams, Philip 1876 B De Soto MS Adams, Preston Dec 1891 B Miller MS De Soto MS Adams, Tom 1888 B Memphis TN De Soto MS Adams, Wesley 1895 B Walls MS Shelby TN # 2 Adams, Wisdom 31 Jan 1895 B Clayton MS De Soto MS Adcock, Stanley Marion 18 Sep 1888 W De Soto Co.
