OT - James Splaine realitives...

A large number of military personnel files were destroyed in a warehouse fire a few years ago. This happened in the St. Louis area while the hard copies were waiting to be turned into computer records. We bumped into this problem while applying for WWII veterans benefits for my mother-in-law. The VA office said the loss was enormous and the info was irretrievable. So you could bump into that hurdle...but maybe not. But this is such a worthy pursuit, I hope you will persevere! His family should be powerfully moved by your kindness and efforts.

Got Dan. Thanks.

I've found out he lived in Perth Amboy, NJ.

This has kinda stalled out. I've received info through PM's that he had no children, so....

I am always game for a good search. I was on the familysearch.org site and was interested in knowing the name of his parents (I have it narrowed down to two). I found his death index. The birth record is a tad tricky because most of the birth years are estimates.
