We hope this information will be help in your search for information about a WW2 soldier. As the internet is changing the way we all do research, any published source would soon be out dated. Through this website we can easily add new information.

There has been some interest, but we're trying to gauge how much.

On this site you can find a discussion group for veterans and families of veterans, lists of good books on specific subjects, a place to post links for specific unit information, some articles we think might be of interest to those researching WW2, and anything else that might be useful.

ATTENTION! please be wary of any internet ads that claim they can help you search military records. Only companies that specialize in going to the archives or the NPRC in St. Louis can actually help you find any WW2 information.
Currently we are recommending Lyon Research for work in the National Archives and NPRC. Tell them we sent you.
