FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
The World War I Military Service Cards database is a transcription of
over 145,000 service cards of army and marine soldiers from Missouri
between 1917 and 1919. Containing a wealth of information, information on
these 4 x 6 service cards include:
Name
Serial Number
Race
Residence
Place and date of enlistment
Place of birth and age or date of birth
Rank
Wounds or other injuries
Dates of overseas service
Date of discharge
Originally created for the purpose of collecting historical and
statistical information, these cards were prepared by abstracting
information from the soldiers' service records. The cards were maintained
by the Adjutant General until their transfer to the Missouri State
Archives.
The World War I Service Card Database can be searched by entering all or part of a name. It is recommended to enter just the last name. The search engine is designed to search for keywords. Entering
"clark" will find records containing the first or last name of "Clark", "Clarke", or "Clarkson."
