Note: This database at GenExchange contains all the registrants from Alaska, Delaware,
Florida, Idaho, Mississippi and Nevada. Our database also contains significant
abstractions from California, Kansas, Nebraska, New York City, and Utah. Year 2000
completions will be South Dakota and Colorado. Texas is scheduled for full completion in
2001 or 2002. The western area of Texas was completed in 2000. Keep in mind, many how
registered did not register in their home state/county. Although a state like IL for
example is not listed above, there are 8,572 records posted for IL. Total records in the
entire collection, 1,283,489
You will also find "Interpreting Draft Card Information" to help you better
understand what is contained in these records, their usefulness, and more.
