I received the following message this a.m. - There are several listed for GA Counties - if any of you know families of these military personnel, please follow the instructions and provide that information ----- Original Message ----- From: Harold Keisling Subject: GA Korean War MIA/POWs need help Dear List Administrator; You will note that DNA is need on several of the service men. That is DNA from a living person who descends from the same blood line. The message below can also be posted along with the request. As a former service member I am doing everything within my power to get the message out. Feel free to modify, abbreviate, or alter this to best suit your needs. Thank you. Sincerely, Harold Keisling, Cookeville TN ---------------------------------message follows--------------------------------- The Army has some unidentified remains of service members from North Korea. Since DNA data was unknown in the 1950s there was no profile on these personnel. The Army can now conduct DNA on the remains, but they have an incomplete database of DNA form close family members with which to compare. There are several on the list for your state and some may be from your county. Please look at the list and see if any from you county are annotated with needing DNA "Yes". If find one, look under DNA and see what relative is acceptable. Then find a relative in your area that meets this criterion and send their name, address or phone number to the following contact at Department of the Army. There is not guarantee that the missing service member from your county will be found, but thru DNA testing the Army can confirm or eliminate him as a name for the remains that they have. This is an important service that we can provide to our fellow citizens. We owe this much to our service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country and in the name of freedom. Let us resolve to get all of these needed DNA for our state submitted. Steps to follow: 1. Look at the state List and find people from your county 2. copy and paste the service member name or jot it down on paper so that you use the same spelling when you go to the DNA database. 3. Go to DNA database and see if they need DNA, if not then the Army has what data they need. If they need DNA then you need to find a good DNA source. 4. Look under DNA on one of the pages and it will tell you what is acceptable. 5. Develop a list of siblings, offsprings etc with addresses/phone number and send them to the e-mail address or call them into the 1-800 number. 6. The Army has its own procedure for following up and getting the DNA samples.

Thank you for the help for the list. As an aside, I remember the Skyland School well. When I lived in Chamblee, I voted in the Kennedy-Nixon Election at that School. We had to stand in line for about 3 hours and we wound out the door and all around the block out on the sidewalks. Donna

Claudia, If you are coming from I-20 East toward Atlanta, when you get to I-285 head north (I don't know exactly how the signs will be listed) Continue northward on I-285 until you get to the Peachtree Industrial Exit (this will take you past Memorial Drive, Northlake and the I-85 exits at Spaghetti Junction). Exit at Peachtree Industrial South (which will take you inside I-285). Proceed South on Peachtree Industrial until you get to Dresden Drive (you will go past Oglethorpe University) which will be at the Brookhaven Marta Station. You will take a left turn onto Dresden Drive. Go on Dresden until you reach Skyland Drive and turn right (there will be a light). You will be in a residential neighborhood. The Vital Records Department is in an old school on the right on Skyland. To find the correct end of the school, you will actually go past what you would think would be the office (this IS a State Government office, after all!). The parking area for Vital Records will be the very last parking lot and the office in the last wing of the building. This is also a building for Public Health and can be a bit confusing. There is plenty of free parking. Copies for marriage, birth and death certificates are $10.00 each payable only in cash. If you are where you can check for a death certificate number from the index, it will greatly increase your chances of actually obtaining a death certificate. Even though it was required after 1918, not all deaths were issued a death certificate. A clerk in the Vital Records Office told me that even in cases where a certificate was issued they didn't always make it to Vital Records. The clerks search from the same microfilm index that is available at large libraries with genealogy records (the State Archives also has a copy). Sometimes a woman's name will be listed as "Mrs. John Doe" instead of her own given name "Mary Smith Doe". Since the clerks won't have any idea that grandpa was "John Doe" they may or may not search under the name the certificate was issued. The certificate will not be issued in the county where the deceased lived, but died. I had a hard time finding an ancestor who was listed under her husband's name and died in a distant county at her daughter's home. In other words, the clerks search will be limited to what you can supply them - do your homework in order to not waste a trip. Hope this helps someone.
