Since 1863, the federal government has registered millions of men who may have been eligible for military service. The Civil War enrollment records and World War I draft registration cards typically give the man’s name, residence, age, occupation, marital status, birthplace, physical description, and other information. These may be obtained by ordering them directly from the National Archives, or by using a digitizing service.
