[or-roots] WWI Registration Card Question

[Leslie Chapman]

I poked around in Missouri Vital records without any luck. If the wife and
children died they didn't do it in Missouri unless it was under an assumed
name, or it's one thy haven't done yet.

  Thanks to all of you for your responses!

  Each piece of the puzzle adds a new dimension to our heritage.

  I've been looking for this grandfather for many years and however "right"
or "wrong" or "questionable" the information is, it was great to find
something to use as a "junping off point".  And....a rewarding part is that
I know it to be him as the signature matches other items that I have written
by him.

  Thanks again for fielding this question for me.  Now...to find him on some
census record....

  I'll just throw this out....Harry Walter Hoadley   DOB 13 September 1890 ~
Bronson, Kansas       Death December 1967~ Portland, Oregon Parents birth
place both Ohio  Home in 1910 USS Pennsylvania, US Navy   Had a wife and two
children and lived in Carterville, Missouri in 1916.....

    There is a lot of mis-information written in the official record,
sometimes intentionally (maybe I can get out of the draft if I give this
answer), sometimes accidentally (question misunderstood or improperly
transcribed), or maybe the individual just didn't know any different (his
folks maybe were British or of British heritage and he just always assumed
he was, too) -- ahh, the excitement of  'the hunt' -- "The Truth is Out
There", finding it can be elusive, or finally find it, and then DNA proves
otherwise (milkman syndrome, I call it) ...
