Could SKS check the Navy Muster Rolls (World War 2) for Edgar Ellison Garrett, born 1918 Fentress County, TN. I no longer have an Ancestry Subscription but when I ran a search today I got 8 hits but I can not check to make sure this is my uncle. I know he served from around 1940 to 1960. I would like more information but Navy information is hard to find. TIA Marilyn -- "If you don't get outside every day, even for a minute, you have not appreciated what God has done.

USS Dixie, AD14 was on active U.S. Navy duty until 15 June 1982.

I think for once I have found him. It is likely he did enlist in Nashville. The uncles in the Army are shown as enlisting at Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia. I need to see if I can find any information concerning the Dixie, as that may have been the ship that was either destroyed or damaged. I know grandma received an MIA telegram at least once. You are always so great about helping all of us with our searches.

Marilyn There are, in fact, eight. Edgar Ellison Garrett, Mccawley, 30 Sep 1942 Edgar Ellison Garrett, Mccawley, 31 Dec 1942 Edgar Ellison Garrett, Mccawley, 31 Dec 1942 Edgar Ellison Garrett, Mccawley, 31 Mar 1943 Edgar Ellison Garrett, President Adams, 30 Sep 1943 Edgar Ellison Garrett, President Adams, APA 19, 31 Dec 1943 Edgar Ellison Garrett, Dixie, AD 14, 30 Apr 1945 Edgar Ellison Garrett, Dixie, AD 14, 30 Apr 1945 On the McCauley, there were three Garretts: SK2c Charles Garvis, enlisted 21 May 1940, reported on board 1/15/1941, CM3c Edgar Ellison, enlisted 4 Jan 1941, received on board 8/16/1942 and OffCklc James Grandison, enlisted 26 Sep 1940, received on board 10/10/1940. The next muster, 31 Dec 1942, adds that Edgar enlisted from Nashville, Tenn, James Grandison from Portsmouth, VA. Charles Garvis is no longer aboard. Charles shows up on the next muster, again 31 Dec, which has the same information, except for the rates. Charles Garvis is SK2c, Edgar Ellison CM2c, and James Grandison is OCC(AA) Well, well, the next muster, 31 March of 1943, Charles Garvis is SK1c, Edgar Ellison is CM2c, and a new Garrett, Jack Perry, S.2c.V6, enlisted 17 Sept 1942, reported 3/31/1943. Edgar next goes to the President Adams. The others do not. He reported to the vessel 15 July 1943. Rate still MC2c. The next muster, 31 December 1943, Edgar is promoted to CM1c. On the Dixie, 30 Apr 1945, has no further information, just that he was aboard on the date of sailing. Unfortunately, these muster rolls do not include the interesting information as to where the ships were at the time, you'd have to go to the individual record for that, I would guess. I googled USS President Adams apa 19 and came up with quite a few hits, including this one: http://www.hullnumber.com/APA-19 and this one http://www.ww2troopships.com/ships/p/presidentadams/default.htm which includes: "1943 Organized resistance on Guadalcanal ceased on 9 February but the campaign for the Solomons was not over. President Adams, redesignated APA-19 (effective 1 February), continued to carry men and equipment to and from the embattled islands of the south Pacific, escaping serious damage from numerous Japanese air attacks. During March and April she trained assault troops in New Zealand then transported men and materiel from there, and from Australia, to Guadalcanal, whence she steamed with Army forces for Rendova. Landing those troops on 30 June, she took on survivors from McCawley on 1 July and sailed to Noumea. From New Caledonia, President Adams returned to New Zealand, underwent an abbreviated overhaul, then resumed transporting men and equipment to the Solomons and training assault troops for amphibious operations - this time for Bougainville. On 1 November, after bombarding the beaches at Torokina Point, she landed the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines, at Empress Augusta Bay. During the next six months, President Adams returned to Bougainville three times with reinforcements; carried Army Engineers to Emirau; transported two groups of Army reinforcements to Cape Gloucester on New Britain; and then prepared for action in the Marianas."

Does anyone know of a font that will show zeros with a slash through them? Thanks, Pam

I am going to answer this way, sending to both the list and Maxine. The icon you speak of is like a flame with a white centre? That is the spam or junk folder and when you go to file and delete you only delete those messages in the deleted items folder. To clear the spam folder you have to right click on it and then in nthe context menu nclick on empty junk and they will be gone. Try this and let us know if it works. I wanted to paste in a pic of the icon but it is not working for me, that is why I was sending to both the list and Maxine, but alas the computer has fooled me again.....LOL On 10/11/2011 11:48 AM, Uptha Creek wrote: > Thanks Jim, > I do have a junk folder, but it says they are in the trash.
