Hi, Thanks so much for this info. I just took a stab in the dark. I can't believe there is still info out there. I would be thrilled to find out anything. My dad didn't ever know what his nationality was. He knew nothing at all about himself. There are so many people willing to help. My brothers will be so excited to hear that there is some hope.

He is listed as 15 - male - white - born in Michigan but the birthplace of both parents is listed as unknown. I'm sure everyone will keep looking. Good Luck!!
