It is online at Ancestory.com Indiana Gold Star Honor Roll, 1914-18 http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/5182.htm You have to be a paid member to view it and they didn't include the soldier's portraits. Also, some counties produced their own Gold Star memorial books I scanned the Vanderburgh County book, Sons of Men, and have the bios & photos online at: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/in/county/vanderburgh/bios_ww1.html Sample Bio http://www.usgennet.org/usa/in/county/vanderburgh/som_bio/som_pm.html -Chris At 09:03 AM 3/28/01 +0000, you wrote: >Thanks Jackie!! >I would appreciate the referal if there is any on Karl J.
