Anton Leo Minten is a 1st cousin 2x removed and while adding to my genealogy I found, thru Ancestry.com, his WWI Draft Registration which shows his birth being 1/14/1895.(Information from FAG Member #47446080)
Note: In the baptism records for St. Anthony the Hermit Catholic Church, the birth date is recorded as Jan. 14, 1896.
Note from Karen E. Brill, FAG Member #48212755: The year 1896 for Anton's birth is correct. It was not uncommon for the birth year to be indicated as a year earlier on World War I and World War II draft registration documents. Anton was a distant relative of mine through my great aunt, Elizabeth Brill Minten, wife of Henry William Minten (1858-1898). First cousin 1x removed from Henry.
