Which were created by the - National Archives and Records Administration. Office of Records Services - Washington, D.C. Modern Records Programs. Electronic and Special Media Records Services Division. Many mistakes and scanning errors were made while NARA was building this database. However, in their own words: "If 35% of these records have errors, why is NARA making the records available in AAD? NARA staff compared a random sample of the records in the electronic WWII Army Enlistment Records with the microfilmed punch cards. Only 4.7% of the records had any character error in the name field and only 1.3% had character errors in the serial number field. While a large number of records had other errors, they were minor." Hopefully, one or more of the 14,000 plus entries will be found of value to those researching ancestors in the Hawaiian area.       Back to Hawaii Home Page     Copyright © Genealogy Trails All Rights Reserved with Full Rights Reserved for Original Contributor
