Details
Category: Caperton Society Blog
I have added a new collection - The 4th Draft of WWII consists of the images as well as exrated information from 44 documents, recording the draft of 22 Caperton's. In 1942, the Selective Service initiated a “Fourth Registration” of the draft. Unlike other drafts for World War II, however, this one targeted older men not for military service but for help on the home front. Known as the “Old Man’s Draft” because it targeted men 45-64 years of age, the registration officially took place on April 27, 1942, at local draft boards around the country. It was intended to provide the  government with a register of manpower, men who might be eligible for national service.

Birth Records Collection Added

Details
Category: Caperton Society Blog
Society members now have a new collection to peruse! I have added a Birth Records link under the Vital Records menu. This records collection includes source records up to about 1910. The listing only shows a minimum of information, however, the actual document may reveal considerably more detail. once example is that of the parents name. in the listing, due to space constraints it may only say Samuel Caperton which as we know is not an uncommon name for a Caperton. The document however may reveal that the fathers name was actuall Samuel Jeremiah Caperton, which of course is of considerably more value if trying to determine which Samuel you are looking at. This collection should expand pretty quickly as there are quite a few Birth records in the Caperton Society Archives, however please if you have a birth certificate that you would like to add to the archives do not hesitate to send it in to me!
