What is the WWI Draft Registration Cards database?

In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United States completed a World War I draft registration card. These  registration cards represent approximately 98% of the men under the age of 46. The total U.S. population in 1917-1918 was about 100 million  individuals. In other words, close to 25% of the total population is represented in these records.

In general, the registration cards included the following information: 

                                                           Full name 
                                                           Home address 
                                                           Date and place of birth
