Hello everyone, Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May in the United States to honor the men and women who lost their lives during wartime, and to pay tribute to all those who served in the armed forces. On this Memorial Day weekend, as we remember our military service men and women, I would like to share with you a collection of military sites and searchable databases. I encourage you to post your findings on these sites to the list, and to also include any family you have in your own files who served in their countries' armed forces--whatever the country, and whatever the war. Take care, LaRae OKMULGEE COUNTY, OK listmgr. - ------------------------------------------------------------- "LEST WE FORGET" They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will remember them. --from First World War days - ------------------------------------------------------------- World War I Civilian Draft Registration Database http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ww1/draft/search.cgi WWI Draft Registrations Query Board: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/WWI/Draft American WWI Mothers' Pilgrimage, 1930 http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4224.htm US military (colonial or modern) http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson14.htm Military matters anywhere else in the world, ancient or modern http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson13.htm Memorial Day: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/memorial.htm Military links: http://www.rootsweb.com/WWII/militarylinks.html WWII Stories: http://www.rootsweb.com/WWII/ Memorial Day Casualty Files http://www.mountaindragon.com/memorial/memorials.html The American Revolution http://www.pbs.org/ktca/liberty/ The Civil War http://www.civilwar.com/ The Spanish American War http://www.spanam.simplenet.com/ "The Great War" http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/ Rutgers Oral History Archives of World War II http://history.rutgers.edu/oralhistory/orlhom.htm State-Level Casualty Lists for the Korean Conflict http://www.nara.gov/nara/electronic/kcasal.html Korean War Anniversary http://www.tcsaz.com/koreanwar.html State-Level Casualty Lists for the Vietnam Conflict http://www.nara.gov/nara/electronic/vcasal.html The Vietnam War Internet Project http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/shwvhome.html Operation Desert-Storm -- The Gulf War http://www.desert-storm.com/ Ancestry.com articles on Memorial Day topics... http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/george/939.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/206.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/george/872.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/news/articles/477.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/1364.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/198.asp - -------------------------------------------------------------

In reading Leah's post about the 1928 Henryetta H.S. Graduating class's reunion plans, my own success at finding a picture of a deceased cousin came to mind. High School annuals offer the opportunity to find these photos, and it's something I never thought to do until I was at the Henryetta Library in April. I had an obit for a cousin who had died shortly after high school (from tuberculosis, we suspect); the obit mentioned that she was a Henryetta High School grad. Given her age, we did some math and asked to see the annuals for a span of years. Sure enough, she was there in the 1929 "Pigeon." And the photo copied beautifully on their copier. I understand the high school probably has these annuals, too. I intend to try this for some other relatives in Okmulgee, etc. I don't know what the fee would be if we were to ask staff to find and copy a photo, but the email for the library is: rubyw@ocevnet.org Ginger
