| Dec 16, 2014 at 4:53 | comment | added | Jan Murphy♦ | Annie, draft registration cards are just what they say -- a record of someone registering for the draft. There are records saying who was actually called up, but as far as I know, none of them can be found online. If you can find the 1930 Census record for your grandfather, that might say if he served in WWI (column 31 should say WW). | |
| Dec 16, 2014 at 1:55 | comment | added | Annie | Based on questions raised following my post here, I may have been thrown off in thinking these were originally owned by someone other than my father due to my father's personal interest in the Siege of Plevna. I (and other family members) also have a personal interest in the individual who was cited for bravery. Perhaps though these items are service related to my father in WWll. Or they could have been from US military service by my paternal grandfather. I do not know if my grandfather served, but I have draft registration cards from this grandfather for WWl & WWll. | |

| Dec 16, 2014 at 0:31 | comment | added | CRSouser | @annie I believe I am pretty sure I know what it is, but need some additional context before answering. So if you can please add some more timeline / location information specific to the owners this would be helpful keeping in mind this forum is used by users around the world. | |
| Dec 15, 2014 at 23:47 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | @CRSouser is right, without details of who you believe owned these medals originally, making sense of them is much more difficult, and possibly off-topic. I am assuming that it is someone born more than 100 years ago - if not, please be aware of our discussions regarding privacy at meta.genealogy.stackexchange.com/questions/1900/…. By Plevna do you mean the Siege of Plevna? | |

| Dec 15, 2014 at 22:03 | comment | added | CRSouser | Could you please give some more time line information for the owner(s) of these, such as a time of immigration or residency in specific cities as well as occupation. The Eagle is a common symbol and the reference to Plevna is useful but it may not necessarily been from that time period specifically. This looks more in the style of the American Eagle for example than the Russian one.. so any additional timeline info would be helpful especially to make it more relevant to the Genealogy forum vs. just History. Thanks | |
