Find Ancestors

Sorry Dea


Am confused --- when did she go to Canada --- and where did Stottingway come from


Think I am a bit rusty


or even very rusty

Renes

The US dont have a central reg like the GRO, they are listed by states and not all states allow disclosure

The next US census is released in April next year, so not too long to wait. Im looking forward to seeing where my uncle is and who he's with!

Minnie is listed on FreeBMD 1889 born Chard

I hate to say it Renes......you need the cert ;-)

Thanks Dea


It seems as if it has to be the Chard birth -- as the other has diff parents --- not that I know the Chard birth parents -- as I cannot find her pre 1901 --- with he Uncle


Renes

The last place she lived before she went to Canada was 'Stottingway' but I don't understand that birth detail of 'Blaskness or Blackness'??

I have been looking for her Renes but I can't just quite 'pin her down' for definite yet !!

Renes, Not necessarily. Her is what Ancestry states about the records:

About World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United States completed a World War I draft registration card. These registration cards represent approximately 98% of the men under the age of 46. The total U.S. population in 1917-1918 was about 100 million individuals. In other words, close to 25% of the total population is represented in these records.
The WWI draft registration cards database can be an extremely useful resource because it covers a significant portion of the U.S. male population in the early twentieth-century. If you had family in the United States during WWI, you are likely to find at least one relative’s information within this large collection. In addition, these cards contain more than just names and dates; they can contain significant genealogical information such as birthplace, citizenship status, and information on the individual’s nearest relative.

Many Thanks --- Dea just looked at that record

Says they were British Passengers --- but as Bonita was born in USA and I rather assumed Minnie was an American -- ( though not proven )

Have to see if what else is about

Many Many thanks Renes

Ginny

So if he was drafted does that mean he was an American Citizen


Also please -- is there anything on Minnie
