The Brethren Historical Library and Archives is pleased to make available this index to the obituaries published in the Gospel Messenger. The indexing began in 1988 with the idea of creating an in-house tool to help the staff and volunteers locate obituaries quickly. Because the index was conceived as an in-house tool, it was created as a WordPerfect 5.1 document, not as a database. As the work progressed, the Brethren Historical Committee recommended that the index be published. Since a paper copy of the index would be over 3700 pages in length, it was decided to publish the index on a CD-ROM.

Rosalita J. Leonard is to be commended for her work on the index while she was employed as the library technician at the Brethren Historical Library and Archives. It has been estimated that the total number of hours she worked on the index would equal 2-3 years of full-time employment. Her position was eliminated shortly after she completed work on the index, as part of an overall redesign of Church of the Brethren General Board programs., Volume: 81; Nbr: 26; Page: 31; Date: 06/25/32.

Description:
The WWI draft registration cards contain a lot of information pertinent to genealogical research. Information that may be found on these cards includes full name, address, age, date of birth, race, citizenship, occupation, employers name, location of employment, name and address of nearest relative, physical description, and signature of registrant, among other things. Use the information found in this database to fill in details about your ancestor's life. Then, use the information as a springboard to lead you to other records. For example, if the address of your ancestor is listed on the draft card, use that information to find your ancestor in a city directory and then trace your ancestor through that city's directories for as many years as you can.

The draft cards are also a good source for finding immigrant information because all young men were required to register, regardless of U.S. citizen status, and since 1880-1920 was a high immigration period, a large portion of immigrant men registered and gave information of birth date, birthplace, and in some cases their father's birthplace and nearest relative.
