Dear List Members, I am from Holland, 38 years old, and have an interest in WW 2 history (D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge). Especially I am interested in the US servicemen who fought for our freedom in Europe. Recently I purchased (in the Belgium Ardennes) a WW II item with the name Liska and Army Service Number 36532429 on it. Recently I have found out that the full name was Theodore C. Liska who was/is from Hamtramck, MI. He survived the war. I am afraid this is all the info I have at the moment. In particular I am seeking a picture from him and would like to get in contact with his next of kin. Best regards from Holland, Antoine

John's (birth name Gregory)birth mother was born in 1938, she had 3 sisters. Her father was born in 1914 in Minnesota. John was born at Mount Carmel Hospital in Detroit at 4:22 am. John has a 1/2 sister who was 9 years old at his birth, which would make her about 51 years old. John's birth father was from England, and came to Detroit, MI, when she told him she was pregant, he told her he would financially support her but moved back to England as he was married. John's birth mother was previously married in 1958 and divorced in 1963. We still believe his birth name was Gregory Stanek, 2/28/1970. We would like to find John's 1/2 sister, she may remember her mother being pregnant. Don't think we'll ever find his birth father if he moved back to England. Thank you for looking.
