I have access to the microfilm of the Escambia County WWI draft registration cards. I will be willing to do lookups on it. Please, only one name per lookup! Also I can only do these lookups on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so be patient!

Thanks,
Mary Ellen

Looking for any information on Palmas, or Palmes

Hi!

Thank you for your lookup offer! I'd like to look for
Thomas Nichols/Nicholls, who was residing in Escambia County (Pensacola area). I believe he registered during WWI. THANK YOU!

What is on the card? I am curious about Willie / Willis / William Pate. I know his DOB and address at the time, what else is there?

Natalie,

Depending on the year that a man registered for the WWI draft, the following can be obtained:

Name, age, birthdate, color, whether naturalized, citizenship (if not naturalized), occupation, employer's name, nearest relative's name and address, signature of the person, a description of the registrant as to height, build, eye colour, hair colour, whether there was a physical disability exempting the registrant from serving, and the date that they registered.

Hope that gives you some insight.

Regards,
Mary Ellen

Please look up William Pate from Escambia County, Pensacola Florida. I found a LITTLE about the 1917 draft. I have a note that his card was previously filed in Pit section. His DOB says April 10, 1881. I assume he registered on the last day, because he and several siblings do not have birth locations listed.

Would you look up Nathan Greenblatt? He was my grandfather.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am sure everyone appreciates it.
