I found a WWI draft card registration for this George Broda--his date of birth is listed as Aug 10, 1900. Eye color is listed as blue and hair as brown.
His address is listed as 325 16th Street Merced. It does appear that there is a middle name, but it is either too faint or was erased for some reason, because it is illegible.
His father is listed as Carlos Broda and his mother (?) is listed as Beatrice Randolph or Radcliff of Merced.
His occupation is listed as cannery labor with Sunlit (?) Fruit Co.
I wish I could see a legible draft registation form because there is so much that I cannot read. It does appear that he is checked as being an alien (from Italy) not a US Citizen. It appears the draft card was stamped Sept 12, 19-- I just cannot read the last two numbers. The info from ancestry states that it is a 1917-1918 draft card.
If anyone has ancestry, here is the link:

I don't know if this is neither here nor there, but there is also an Ellen G. Broda listed as being born in San Francisco Mar 4, 1967 Probably means nothing but interesting coincidence.
Looks like you and Raf have the same person..... So if there is a draft card, wouldn't there be a SSN somewhere?
