Dan, What I found really interesting was the date you used in your example: 12 September 1918 ----that exactly matches the date on the draft registration I'm entering now. This is my first draft registration to process, so that's quite a coincidence! --------or is there something special about that date? Like, was it the first day or something? 1918 sounds too late to me. Thanks, --Paula
