Gigi I got two different Birth dates for Joseph Coulson Seal. I got One date from WWI draft card dating Dec 7th 1878. The a WWII draft card he put Dec 1 1879. Why would he put two different dates down. I am going to go with the one when he was younger. Maybe he was getting old for the second date that he just forgot. Just letting know of the changes. I found both records on Ancestry.com
