Locating your ancestor in a draft registration means that they were legally obligated to register and that the draft records have been preserved. Registering for the draft is not the same thing as enlisting in the service or actually being drafted. FamilySearch has draft cards from World War I and information about various draft cards from World War II. The FamilySearch Wiki has information on Civil War Union draft records.
