WORLD WAR I DRAFT RECORDS FOR HERTFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

WWI Records - Draft Boards 
Cities and counties with populations exceeding 45,000 were sub-divided into 
groups of approximately 30,000 residents. These smaller groups comprise the 
local draft boards and were supposed to be equivalent to the local voting 
precinct. The number of draft boards there are for a particular locality is 
directly related to its population. For example, the city of Chicago, Illinois 
had 86 draft boards, while Sacramento, California had only 2. Cities and 
counties that did not exceed the 45,000-population limitation only had one 
draft board. For researchers with ancestors who resided in larger cities, 
unless you know exactly where your ancestor lived and which precinct he was 
a part of; it will likely be necessary to search multiple draft boards.

WWI Records - Draft Cards 
Draft cards are listed in alphabetical order by the registrant's last name. 
It’s important to note that there was a different registration card used for 
each of the three registration dates, so some of the information required on 
each card does vary. The basic information provided on draft registration 
cards includes: Full name of registrant, home address, birth date, birth 
location, whether native born, naturalized citizen, alien, declared intention, 
non-citizen or citizen Indian, race, occupation, physical description, and in 
many cases father's birthplace and nearest relative.
