I recently decided to upload my family tree to Ancestry.com, and was pleasantly surprised to see the many improvements offered. First, I know Ancestry.com would search records for you, but I was amazed how many Leaves ("hits") it is finding! I have 5,298 family and ancestors in my tree (most of which were handed down to me from my Mom), and Ancestry.com has over 82 Leafs for me to research. This is coming in handy, as I have mostly been researching first source records to document my Mom's (and her family's) research.I've been using Ancestry.com for many years, and have loved finding draft cards of my ancestors. However, with the new "Leaf" feature, I discovered that my grandfather, William Franklin Butler III, had to register for the draft (which I was unaware). Here's his draft registration card (World War I Draft Registration Cards 1917-1918):
