    3. WWII Army Database Now Online - notice ARMY (which does include the Army Air Corps, the precursor to the air force...)US National Archives has a new database of 9 million people who enlisted in the Army in World War II, though it is not complete.World War II Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File.http://aad.archives.gov/aad/title_list.jspWhen you get click the RED SEARCH BUTTON then click the pull down menu next tot he query box, then scroll to the (bottom?) "World War 1939-1945,"then click submit.check this to know about what you are looking athttp://www.archives.gov/aad/whats_new.htmlthen when you are done (can that be?) go back and check the OTHER databases...!this is a g-r-e-a-t way to back into where you should be looking for 1930census records because it tell you where they enlisted.... and it includesliving people not just those who have passed...but remember, not complete!amazing, 9 million and still not complete...THERE IS NOT an all database search...it wou! ld be too much of a hog to most systems to do that so as a researcher, you must click each data base and do your searches... I suggest that you be methodical...make a listor print out the data bases and then make a list of all the names that youwill check and be sure, when you find something (and I know you will) thatyou get those full citings....
