[or-roots] Draft Cards

[Sue Steward]

Very little is available on the Confederate military but information is available at the National Archives on the Union military.  If a Confederate received a pension from the state where they lived, you can get pension records.  I got a pension record on my great grandfather from Arkansas.  He was from Georgia but moved to Arkansas and drew a pension from Arkansas.

  I would love to see the civil war ones.  Supposedly one of my gggrandfathers was wounded in the civil war and supposedly received a pension.  I have got the WWI draft cards of both of my grandfathers but would be interested in the enlistments of these uncles in WWII.  Like I said before I tried the link and came up with nothing.  I know they were in because I have pictures of all of them in their uniforms.

        Hi Dale,



        The link below is for Enlistment records WW II.. not the WW I Draft Cards.

        & says it's not a complete list of men & women.

        US World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 - New    Ancestry.com has---Civil War Service Records also.

        Description:
        This database contains information on about 8.3 million men and women who enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War II. While this database contains information on the majority of the men and women who served in the Army during this war, it is not complete and does not represent the entirety of the U.S. Army servicemen. Information found in this database comes from the WD AGO Form 317 (used from 1941-45), WD AGO Form 372 (used from 1945-46), and Enlisted Reserve Corps Statistical cards. 

        I put in Goodman & came up with lots & lots of Goodmans, but need to know the full name date & location.

        Your also searching for your ggggf George Washington Goodman Sr. in Umatilla Co.,Oregon, right?

        What are the names of your four uncles?

        I tried using this link and came up cold.  I had four uncles that served in the war and yet I could not find them here.  What do you think I am doing wrong?

              ancestry.com may not have World War II cards, but they do have,



               US World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 - New!



              Also, at ancestry. com  I found excellent World War II information on my father in newspaper articles where he lived, which for him was Walla Walla, WA.  Walla Walla Union Bulletin Newspaper (1945) which was really neat. I even read all the locations he served in the war, all the medals he got, even the date he was discharged from the Marines. 

              I f you know about where they lived at the time, the dates, if there names comes up click & see what it reads, it may not be them but just go to the next name.

              The draft cards are for WW ONE, not World War II.      Denise

              This is my first question since signing up. Are copies of Draft Cards available for individuals who registered for the draft in the early 1940's? I had tree brothers who probably had to register prior to or early in the 1940's.
