Our Society supported library is strictly research.

My Edition Four of a two volume set, of basic genealogy and military research 
should be ready by March 2009.
 
Here is a brief on the work:
 
RESEARCHING MORE THAN 3,600 MEN
 
This tale is about the challenge to gather basic genealogy and historic data 
on each man lost while in the US Submarine Service during WWII.   With a few 
exceptions, these men, were not related to each other or to the author.   The 
usual war memorials contain a name, rate or rank, service number and other bits 
of information.  There often is not much else that tells about the person.   
 
A need to develop, at least, a basic genealogy with details about each entry 
was thought to be important, especially to remind family members and relatives 
that this man will not be forgotten.   The work has gone through three 
Editions, utilizing available conventional search resources.  
 
On November 1, 2007, the US Navy announced the release of WWII records at the 
St. Louis National Archives.  Research has been ongoing since that time to 
fill in the missing data and make changes to prior entries.  This effort has 
resulted in the compilation of Edition Four.  Three awards have been received for 
this work.
SOURCES of DATA:
Each man's record has been researched, using a number of sources, such as 
Census records, available family records and recently utilizing the primary 
source materials at the National Archives.  Data has been extracted, compiled and 
published. When photos were found, they would be processed for use on a web 
site.  The set of two volumes may be available at your genealogy center or in 
your County Library.  The work includes a basic genealogy and military historic 
record on each one of more than 3,600 US Submarine men lost during WWII.    
 
A US Submarine combat veteran of WWII, privately publishes it. 
 
Title:
"UNITED STATES SUBMARINE MEN LOST DURING WORLD WAR II" - Edition Four.   ISBN 
978-0-9771456-4-5 (2 Volume Set)
