Thank you. Sandra you are incredible 

Basically, Julius was drafted to WW1. Where can I lookup did he end up to war?
Also is it known that he got the citizenship if he had his day in the Court in April 1941?

Every man of a certain age who wasn't already in the military was required to register for the draft.  It doesn't mean they were necessarily drafted or ever served in the military.

[Koski]

Thanks for clarification. Makes sense know. I found the registration card for Mike Anselm Koski for WW2 when he was 59 years old in 1942, and wonder what was that all about.

This gives more information about the WWII draft registration cards available to the public (covering older men) - https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/United_States_World_War_II_Fourth_Draft_Registration_Cards_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) 

The 1930 census has a space for whether men were veterans, so that could give a clue if someone served in WWI.

Thanks Shelly.

Have not been able to spot Mike Koski from the 1920s or 1930's census. Then he suddenly appears again in Chatham Alger County MI in 1940 Census. He had been married to Signe b. 1894. Where have they been married and why they are not spotted in between? Thought first that perhaps they gone to Soviet Russia but as found them in 1940 Census, don't believe it. Was it common to those times after work somewhere else? Perhaps Canada?

I found Signe Saari b. 1894 from United States Census, 1930," Signe Saari in household of Lafayette Crowley, Grosse Pointe, Wayne, Michigan. Could this be the same Signe who is married to Mike Koski according to 1940 Census? Couldn't find any information about marriage thought have not find any other Signe b. 1894 emigrated to the States from Finland.
