Do first world war service records carry exact place of birth?

Question

how can i view a particular record on line?

Answer 1

Ancestry.com (a pay site) has the WWI draft cards on line. The birth information (date and location) is as good as the information the person provided. If your ancestor was a veteran of the war, then the military may have required more formal proof, but I think it is still according to the information the individual soldier provided.

Personally I would still order the records from the National Archives (www.nara.gov) for a veteran because they will provide service specific information than probably is not available anywhere else. Personal information at the time of enlistment and birth information are a bonus.

The National Archives site will provide the correct method for and cost of requesting the records.

Answer 2

If you are from the UK, you are mostly out of luck. The Public records Office at Kew has Great War Service records - or those that are left. Mostly they were bombed out in the second war. But those that survive are public records and you may view them. As far as I know, they are not on line. My grandfather's were lost so I can't comment in detail but I have his discharge papers and they do not give place of birth. If the man you are looking for died in the war, he can be traced on line through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Those records usually contain information about ages, relatives and homes. As in "son of so and so of such and such an address". Hope this helps.

Answer 3

First, the war records especially of veterans in the very early wars mostly relied on what information that person supplied them. However exact or incomplete depended on what the person gave them. Second, you might like at the National Archive and Records Administration (Nara) which is online, they may be able to provide you with the persons service records, pension applications and such.

Answer 4

Any record can only carry the information that was given to the record keeper.

Some WW1 records ARE available to an extent through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site.

Answer 6

You cannot view online but you can find out where to view them online. I have found exact places of birth going back to our own Revelutionary War!

Answer 7

In the instance with my grandfather they did not as he lied about his age in order to enlist. I got a copy of the record from a relative. Try ancestry.com or geneaology.com - though you have to pay to use their services.

Answer 8

You can't view them online.. There are many legalities involved, especially the right to privacy..
A lot depends on your relation to the vet.

Answer 9

for many countries the records would not be so right cause there was no correct birth registration system...

Answer 10

Ancestry.com has WWI draft cards. I have one but I can't remember if it gave more than the name of the state.
