[Genealib] Searching for records of men who died twice.

[Trevia W Beverly]

Not having anyone in this category, I did not realize this.  Perhaps a way around the high cost - for this specific cause - could be found.  U.S. Representatives & Senators --- for whatever in the heck they're worth these days! --- could be a start along with requests from such large groups as the National Genealogical Society, the Federation of Genealogical Societies, etc.  And is someone like NGS would take on the project of providing a data base ... ?

I'm not a member at this time of NGS, but hopefully someone on this list is and can pursue it.  

But in the past when I've needed something I went to my then congressman, Bill Archer, and his office always seemed to find an answer and a way around what I needed.  (He is not longer in office and I am no longer in that district).

  The documented fate of most all WWII men, who were lost at sea is known. The approximate date of death, ship lost, service number, etc. 

  However there are hundreds who have virtually no readily available genealogical verifiable historic record.  Their place and dates of birth as well as parents names are not available without a very high extraction cost required by the U. S. Navy archive. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. 

  As a result, these men have no history, they never existed or, one can say "They died twice."

  Any comments would be appreciated.
