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 then alphabetically by surname within each draft board. All the counties, except Salt Lake and Weber, had only one board. Weber County had several for Ogden and one for the rest of Weber County. Salt Lake County has several boards. Salt Lake City boards are separate from the county.
