*United States. Selective Service System. ''Massachusetts, World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917–1918''. Washington, DC: National Archives, 1987–1988. (On 162 Family History Library films, beginning with film 1684875.) To find an individual's draft card, you must know his name and residence at the time of registration. The cards are arranged alphabetically by county, within the county by draft board, and alphabetically by surname within each draft board. Most counties had only one board; large cities had more. Finding an ancestor's street address in a city directory will help you determine the board number if he lived in a large city. For a map showing Boston draft board boundaries and numbers, see FHL film 1498803. | *United States. Selective Service System.
