Family History Beginners Board / Why America American army draft record for 1917/18
« on: Thursday 28 October 21 14:07 BST (UK) »
Checking records for my paternal great grandfather (1875-1948) and what should I find but a copy of an American army draft record for 1917/18.
What on earth was my Yorkshire born great grandfather doing in the US at that time moreover, why at the age of 44 is he being drafted into their army?
His details are spot on as are those for his wife and my great grandmother - even down to their first and second names being correct which is surely too much of a coincidence... or is it.
Cheers guys.
