Jarl Family - Johan August Albin - World War I draft Card = page 5

I found Albin's draft registration on 3/30/2022 on the FamilySearch.org website.

What is interesting about this entry is that Albin states he is a naturalized citizen.

I have never found documentation that Albin had been naturalized. I believe that Albin's grasp of the English language was lacking, leading to misunderstandings as to what was being asked of him.

It also could be that he did not want to be identified as an "alien". He might have wanted to be identified as a citizen.

He also signed the card as John August Albin Jarl instead of Johan.

This registration card reads as:

[I will be adding the transcription of this card at a later date.]
