BIRTH INFORMATION:
RESIDENTS OF MADISON PARISH, LA
FROM WORLD WAR I RECORDS - 1917-18
AND PERSONS WITH LINKS TO THIS PARISH
Raymond
H. Banks abstracted the information below from civilian registration cards
completed in 1917-1918. All rights reserved.
Some men do not have
birth locations listed because they registered on the final draft registration
day in 1918 when this information was not recorded. Almost 24 million men
registered for the draft -- not always in the county of residence.
CAUTION: Middle Eastern and East European national boundaries and
country names were quite different than those seen on today's maps.
Microfilm copies of the original cards are maintained by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Days Saints (LDS...the Mormons). Researchers can
probably order loaner copies of specific reels from Salt Lake City through
requests at local LDS family history centers. Payment for mailing costs
is required.
Catalog subject heading:
UNITED STATES -- MILITARY RECORDS -- WORLD WAR I
[although these records are not actually military records]

Georgia.
The compiler has not abstracted the registrant's address the name and
address of next of kin, occupation, work address, general physical description
and occasionally listed general description of a disability. Please
consult the original card to verify all information.
