alien registration card records for Michigan

mhansen159 — 23 Jun 2008 2:47:17 GMT

A relative just mailed me images of an alien registration card for my 2nd great grandmother, and a work permit card for my 2nd great grandfather, both in Saginaw, MI, July 1918.
Does anyone know where the affidavits from Saginaw are kept?
I noticed that the National Archives used an example of such an affidavit from Michigan.
Thanks.

Question re: Canadian men being drafted.

BabyBennett73 — 22 Jan 2008 10:25:17 GMT

Hello all, looking for a little help.
My great grandfathers 2 brothers were Canadians living in the States when they were drafted for the WWI. I have their draft registration paper. So, where do I go find where they went or what happened to them? I know where to go for Canadian soldiers but I need US Gov. sites where their names are. My mom said her grandfather mentioned one of this brothers was lost when he went to war. With the info thats available now, Im sure I can find what happened to them. Another question, if the men were deemed fit, were all of them sent to war ? The eldest brother was 43 on his draft papers. Thanks for your help.

World War I Alien Registration Cards

jpasik — 25 Apr 2005 12:49:08 GMT

Simon Kratzman was registered as an alien enemy on February 20, 1918. He signed the Registration Card as
Siemon Kratzman.
His wife, Mary Polcyn was registered as an alien female on
July 15, 1918. Someone else signed the Registration Card for her.
I have both registration cards. They are my Great Grandparents.
My understanding is that Simon was German and Mary was Polish. Can anyone verify this?
