This site, at http://www.usabmc.com/abmc45.htm, includes the names of 78,976 Missing in Action or lost or buried at sea and 93,242 buried at the ABMC-run cemeteries. It does not contain the names of the 233,181 Americans returned to the United States for burial. A name search produces a table of names with rank, serial number, date of death, and place of burial. Clicking on a name leads to a memorial page with additional information, such as the person's branch of service, unit, state in which he or she entered service, awards, and exact burial location or whether missing in action. See for example the memorial page for my mother-in-law's first cousin, Solamon Rosenbaum. (Ironically, Sol came to the US in the late 1930's from what was then Jasien in eastern Poland. He escaped the Shoah, in which the rest of his immediate family perished, only to die at Normandy.) The ABMC site has similar searchable listings for 33,714 World War I dead and for 37,333 Korean War dead. Further information is available by writing the American Battle Monuments Commission Courthouse Plaza II, Suite 500 2300 Clarendon Boulevard Arlington, VA 22201 Telephone (703) 696-6897 As others will probably mention, the book _American Jews in World War II_ lists the Jewish soldiers who were injured or died in the war. See the JewishGen archives for details in discussion threads in 1995 and 1997. The records which served as source data for the book are now held by the American Jewish Historical Society at NYC's Center for Jewish History, http://www.ajhs.org/ >> --part1_a7.45a6fd7.2667d0d3_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <[email protected]> Received: from rly-yb05.mx.aol.com (rly-yb05.mail.aol.com [172.18.146.5]) by air-yb04.mail.aol.com (v74.10) with ESMTP; Thu, 01 Jun 2000 10:31:28 -0400 Received: from lists6.rootsweb.com (lists6.rootsweb.com [63.92.80.125]) by rly-yb05.mx.aol.com (v74.10) with ESMTP; Thu, 01 Jun 2000 10:31:02 -0400 Received: (from [email protected]) by lists6.rootsweb.com (8.10.1/8.10.1) id e51EUAq04136; Thu, 1 Jun 2000 07:30:10 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 07:30:10 -0700 X-Original-Sender: [email protected] Thu Jun 1 07:30:09 2000 Newsgroups: wny.freenet.genealogy.general Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 10:29:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Genealogy <[email protected]> Old-To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: [NYERIE] ABMC web site lists American dead in WW2 (fwd) Resent-Message-ID: <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Resent-From: [email protected] X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/2523 X-Loop: [email protected] Precedence: list Resent-Sender: [email protected] X-Mailer: Unknown Of possible interest to those with WWII casualties in their family... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 30 May 2000 18:09:01 -0700 From: Renee Steinig <[email protected]> Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.jewish Subject: ABMC web site lists American dead in WW2 The American Battle Monuments Commission, a US government agency responsible for operating 24 US military cemeteries abroad, lists online 172,218 Americans who lost their lives in World War II.
