1917 Draft Birth Registrations, Jackson Co, Colo
BIRTH INFORMATION: RESIDENTS OF THIS COUNTY IN 1917-18

AND PERSONS WITH LINKS TO THIS COUNTY

The information below was abstracted from 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 -- not always in the county of
residence.

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]. Original 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.
