A tip from 24-7 Family History Circle tells of Ancestry.com releasing World War II Draft Cards soon:
This database is an indexed collection of draft cards from the Fourth Registration, the only registration currently available to the public. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the “old man’s registration,†was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897-men who were between 45 and 64 years old and who were not already in the military. The WWII draft card database at Ancestry.com will contain all the registrations that are currently available on microfilm to the public, which covers one-third of the total registrants (3,385,693 Images)…
The list should be available now at Ancestry World War II Draft Cards Search.
