Most of us know that 80% of U.S. Army personnel records
were destroyed in the NPRC fire at St. Louis.
That tragedy forced us to develop whatever alternate sources we can find.
We would like to suggest church records for one of those sources.
Note the page below from the Olive Branch Christian Church here in Indianapolis.
This is from a wartime church bulletin; note what a great source this is for this KIA soldier.
We recently scanned and put online 50 pages of data on soldiers and sailors from that church.
You should find out the church affiliation of your WW2 family member and check out their archives. You may be richly rewarded!
