Bobbie, I read the message on this new project. Will this include the cemeteries in Fort Hood? I will personally volunteer to go knock on the door of the person in charge at Fort Hood and beg for a copy of these records. I will even volunteer to type them all. Will it cause a problem with the Genealogical Society in any way?
