The following e-mail is the last of a series of e-mail messages regarding
obtaining copies of WWI Draft Cards from the National Archives branch in East
Point, Georgia. This poor lady seems to have taken a lot of abuse for just
trying to be helpful.
If you think this is a resource that you should investigate, you should check
out the information on her site. The address for the main page of her site
is in the e-mail below. However, if you want to skip all that and just go to
her page dealing with the cards, it's at:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haas/ww1draftcards.htm
I didn't have time to browse through the rest of her site this morning, but
it looks like she has some other good information there regarding how to do
various types of genealogy research (e.g., visiting a courthouse, history and
use of census records, military records, land records, a history timeline,
list of old diseases, pioneer uses of herbs, why your ancestors might have
moved to Oklahoma).

Last update on the WW1 Draft Card Uproar.
I have found a researcher who will copy your cards at a reasonable price.
The genealogy e-mail lists prohibit the posting of information on
professional researchers so I cannot give you the information here. At the
bottom of this message you can see how to get the information.
And today we now have a notice in Rootsweb Review explaining that I was in
error about my posting and quoting the Regional Manager at the GA NARA. It's
certainly nice to have my credibility trashed <huge sigh>
I'm not going to fight this battle any longer folks.
I sat up a page at my home web site that will tell you about the WW1 Draft
Cards and give you the information on the lady who will do the look-ups and
copies of your cards. If you have hung in here thru all this mess and want
copies of these cards then please take the time to go look at the page.
I'm still not sorry for my post. I believe the WW1 Draft Cards are a
wonderful resource for all of us searching for our ancestors during the
1917-1918 time period. But I am tired of the bashing I'm getting about now.
