I'm a little new at this ancestry game so, I found all your info extremely interesting. Did you ever spend the $40 on those military certificates you mentioned? If not, I would be willing to help with the costs so that I may get a copy from you. I've learned quite quickly how important documentation is. I'll look forward to hearing from you and hope to compare family information. I'd be happy to share any and all that I have.
