The process for capturing this information is unknown. A rare clipping is found on the entry page.

In July 2002, Evelyn Sawyer, of the Western Michigan Genealogical Society, began creating a database giving information on the soldiers name, date, parents names, and place of birth. See the microfilm for possible additional information. This database is located on the Western Michigan Genealogical Society Website under the name “Census of World War One Veterans, Kent County, Michigan."
