   Starting in 1936 the Social Security Administration started to maintain records of each individual who applied for a Social Security Number. The earliest form of these records were known as the “Mas ter Files of the Social Security (SSN) Holders and SSN Applications”. This was more commonly known simply as the “Enumeration System”. In the 1970s legacy records from this system were migrated and new records were maintained electronically in the Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT). This collection contains records of individuals with a verified death between 1936 and 2007 or who wou ld have been over 110 years old by December 31, 2007. There are three types of entries in NUMIDENT: applications (SS-5), claims, and death entries. The records of applications and claims are presented here in this collection. The death entries are available on MyHeritage as the U.S. Social Security Death Index (SSDI). The application (SS-5) records contain information extracted from the SS-5 form “Application for a Social Security Card” or “Application for Social Security Account Number.” Information in the NUMIDENT application entries include applicant’s full name, father’s name, mother’s maiden name, sex, race/ethnic description, place of birth, and other information about the application and subsequent changes to the applicant’s record - such as name changes especially c ommon (and even required) when women marry. For about 43 percent of social security numbers, there are multiple application records. The application records preserved by the Social Security Administra tion do not include records of all social security applications between 1936 and 2007. Information of applications prior to 1973 may be incomplete. There may not be a record for an individual in both the application records and the death entries and there are nearly 6 million social security numbers in the application records that do not appear in the death entries. And conversely, there are recor ds in the death entries that have no corresponding extant record in the application entries. The claim records include information on the type of claim, the claimant’s full name, date of birth, gend er, and for about half of the claim records the US state or country of birth. For a small number of social security numbers there are multiple claim records. Records in this collection may have place names that were abbreviated or personal names that were truncated in the data supplied by the Social Security Administration. MyHeritage has corrected and expanded many of these when possible but othe r values remain abbreviated or truncated.

4. United States World War I Draft Registrations, 1917-1918, via https://www.myheritage.com/research/reco..., February 23, 2021

   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 im mediately 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 servic e.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 Congres s 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 enlistmen t.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 me n 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 tho se 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. * Septemb er 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 an d 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 c ard 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.
