There is a Search Box above the top left of the databe to search by name. For best results search by only the first few letters of a name. In many cases these names come from typewriter lists that are not very clear and may be mis-spelled. Click on the "eyeball" at the left of the individual record to see the full record. You can click on a column heading to sort this list by that category; clicking again will sort it the other diriection (A-Z or Z-A).Once you have a last neame, or a list of possible last names (ex: Mc) you can sort that list by first name to speed your search. Many of the names with "Date Unknown", or “Before” dates, and places are based on information received from the Air Force Military Personnel Center. They do not release such information to the public. Ancestry.com was the internet link to much additional information but the data is less reliable as I usually had very little information on the individual on which to base the search. The "Year" toward the end of a record is the year of death and if the "Status" is marked "Probable" it is due to the limited information I had available with which to verify information. To add or edit people, please click to download theCrew List Data Form and after you complete it to the best of your knowlege, even if you only can add a little information, and save it to your computer and submit it either by email or US Mail to either address on the form. The form takes a little time to download. If you have problems with the form, go to the Contact Us page and send me an email with the information you have.
