Ancestry.com is making its WWII
records collection free through Dec. 7 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of
the attack on Pearl Harbor. The collection includes WWII draft registration cards
(including some
newly added ones), WWII Navy muster rolls (1939-1949), records of Japanese-Americans
relocated during the war, US Navy cruise books and more.

Go here to search Ancestry.com’s
WWII records. When you go to view a match, you’ll be prompted to set up a free
registration with the site (or log in if you already have one).

2,459 Americans died when Japanese warplanes bombed Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941.
