 Over 150,000 New Jerseyans served in the war, and of these, 3,836 died. The state archives has a card index to Mexican border service in 1916, microfilm copies of unofficial service records for World War I, and an index to the unofficial service records. World War I draft registrations for the 762,000 New Jersey men who registered are on microfilm at the Family History Library.
-*World War I draft registration cards for men ages 18 to 45 may list address, birth date, birthplace, race, nationality, citizenship, and next of kin. Not all registrants served in the war. For New Jersey's registration cards, see:
+*United States. Selective Service System. ''New Jersey, World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918''. Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1987-1988. (On 127 Family History Library films beginning with {{FHL|746988|title-id|disp=film 1711811}}) These cards have been digitized and are searchable online. See [[United States World War I Draft Records|WWII Draft Records]] for more information.

-To find an individual's draft card, it helps to 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. A map of Jersey City (with Hoboken) has been prepared which shows the draft board registration district boundaries. For a copy of this map, see:
