U.S. WWII Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947<\/a>\u201d with their own separate database record. They may appear as part of the information extracted in a draft registrant’s database record, but they do not all get their own separate database entry.<\/p>\nVelma appears in the index with her name and residence only.

Note that there is no other information listed for her other than her name, her residence, the registration date, and the fact that Vester Rampley also was in her household.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/rootdig.genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ww2rampley2-300x265.jpg\")

The registration card does not indicate that they are living at the same address nor is the relationship given. There’s not any evidence on the card to support that they were living in the same household at the time of the registration.<\/p>\n
Those who do “automatic” import of the extracted data from\u00a0Ancestry.com<\/em>‘s database into their own database will end up incorporating that “same household” information into their genealogical database.<\/p>\nI’m glad Velma’s name is indexed.<\/p>\n
I’m not so happy\u00a0Ancestry.com<\/em> listed them in the same household.

However it does serve to remind us of the importance of actually reading the record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are females in the World War II draft registration cards.
