   Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the Commerce Department’s Census Office in Washington, D.C.Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.

   Naturalization requirements changed significantly in the year 1906. Prior to 1906, naturalization petitions required a limited amount of information, often only collecting the name of the petitioner, the name of the court, record number, the petitioner’s country of origin, and the date of naturalization. After 1906 naturalization documents collected additional information such as the petitioner’s address, names and addresses of any witnesses, birth date, as well as date and place of arrival in the United States. While the scope of the documents expanded, not all documents include the additional information.Petitions for naturalization were one of the final steps towards United States citizenship. Of particular interest to genealogists, these petitions sometimes include multiple surnames, often the alternate spellings or their “old country” name as well as their “Americanized” name. Each record within this index contains a Soundex Code that can be used to find the original naturalization records within NARA’s collections.Naturalization petitions filed within the following counties between the years of 1840 and 1950 can be found in this collection. However, dates vary by county. For example, there are no naturalization petitions prior to 1871 for the largest county by population: Cook County, Illinois.

5. United States World War I Draft Registrations, 1917-1918

   Axel Dahlgren<br>Gender: Male<br>Birth: Oct 16 1886 - Wermland, Sweden<br>Age: 30<br>Draft registration: 1918 - Chicago City, Illinois, United States<br>Nationality: United States<br>Language: English<br>Source: Registration Cards

   When the United States declared war on the German Empire on April 6, 1917 its standing army was comprised of approximately 100,000 men with another 115,000 in National Guard units. President Wilson immediately directed the Department of War to work to increase the army to a one million-man force. However, six weeks after war was declared only 73,000 new recruits had volunteered for military service.
   
   Military planners and political leaders had correctly anticipated the general apathy in the nation for the war effort at its onset and almost as soon as war was declared work began in the US Congress to enact updated conscription legislation. Congress passed the Selective Service Act on May 18, 1917. This act authorized the federal government to raise a national army through compulsory enlistment.
   
   The initial Selective Service Act required all men aged 21 to 30 to register. In August 1918, at the request of the War Department, Congress amended the law to expand the age range to include all men aged 18 to 45.
   
   Three specific registrations were conducted:
   
   

   • June 5, 1917. This first registration was for all men between the ages of 21 and 31.
   • June 5, 1918. The second registration was for those who had turned 21 after June 5, 1917 and a supplemental registration included in the second registration was held on August 24, 1918, for those who turned 21 years old after June 5, 1918.
   • September 12, 1918. The third, and final registration was for all men aged 18 through 45 not previously enrolled.

   
   By the end of the First World War, some 2 million men had volunteered for military service and 2.8 million other men had been drafted. Accordingly, a draft registration does not imply that the individual ended up being drafted or that he didn’t volunteer separately.
   
   The handwriting on the card is normally that of a registration board worker usually labeled the “registrar”. However, almost all cards contain the signature or “mark” in the handwriting of the registrant himself.
