A big thank you to Ancestry.com for the free sample access to their database of World War I draft registration cards and images. This is a tremendous resource that is almost like a census for males between 18-45 in 1917-1918 in the US. Not only do they usually contain the full first, middle & last names of those listed, but since they were actually the ones to fill out the forms, you get their correct spellings as well as their actual signature (if they could write). I've cited them as sources for as many as I could find (20-30 or so), so you'll find them scattered throughout those born between 1874-1902 in the tree.
