Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Little known history
Hi Dano I served in the USAF for almost 22 years. A colleague who worked in the American Embassy in Lisbon provided this information but unfortunately does not have the names of casualties. Have you tried the more useful sources such as ancestry.com, genealogy.com? I have an address for a military records repository in St Louis. I will locate the address for you and post it here later on today.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Little known history
I checked that out already, Herb, but, I'll try direct contact. Thanks! As I mentioned, I did some homework, *(newspaper obits, Pearl Harbor Casualty List website, and military, etc),* but, haven't come up with anything. He was listed as a civilian on the Pearl Harbor list, just no other identifying info - so, I'm not sure which branch of the family, if any, he may have been a part of.
