WWI Draft Registration

(The following list of categories emulates the 1918 forms, which are, with few exceptions, all stamped or dated Sept. 12,1918, the date from which every registrant's age was determined. The 1917 form(dated June 5,1917) differed in numerous ways and often requested "Place of Birth", and sometimes even the "Father's Birthplace", two categories sorely missed in the 1918 form. Another difference: "Caucasion" was used in 1917 instead of "White" the following year. Because the forms were not standarized on a national level, each state and/or county seemed responsible for printing its own forms, creating several other variances. For instance, a few 1917 forms did not include "Race", or ask for "Occupation", or "Nearest Relative", which I thought negligent, especially disheartening for genealogical interests.)

My transcriptions from Ancestry.com's invaluable database attempt to list as many of these categories as a "page width" will allow.
