The 'engineer' in my being required that I take this for a test drive. I was lucky enough to find the spouse of a 2nd cousin - Robert H. Ellis. I now have his service number and I should be able to get his military records. The whole object of this is to find out where the man was buried. Note, as with any database youwon't find everyone - even though they were killed in action during WW II. Virgil L. Ewing (another distant cousin) isn't present in the list of KIA for Richland Co., Wisconsin. Again, my thanks to Bette for this tremendous information resource. Best regards H.A. KIppenhan, Jr. _________________________________________________________________ Instant message during games with MSN Messenger 6.0. Download it now FREE! http://msnmessenger-download.com
