Your Ancestor’s Role in History

History. As made by your ancestors. 

"No-no boys." That was the name given to Japanese-Americans who answered "no" to two questions on U.S. Alien Draft Registrations, now on Ancestry.com. Both the questions and the answers were products of the time, as a climate of fear and suspicion accompanied the U.S. entry into World War II. 

U.S. Alien Draft Registrations are just one example of unique records you'll find on Ancestry.com that came about because of a particular — or peculiar — moment in history. You'll also find lists of Titanic survivors, Cadet Nurse Corps candidates, grandfathers who registered for the draft, and guillotined French revolutionaries, among others.
