Are they Father and Son? Buried next to each other?!!
I looked back through the posts and didn't see their unit or date of death info. I am interested in their details and their story.

Hi Verow, i havent found much on these 2 soldiers. Robert Thomas`s hometown is listed as Queens County, NY. which narrows the search a little.
J. S. Willis was born 1922 in Mississippi. Enlisted Jan 1943, residence St Louis, MO. If Beatrice Jackson is still alive she would be over 100yrs old. I have some contacts and sources in Chicago and will be searching there for further info.
With your permission, i will post your search requests on my geneaolgy website.
Oh yes Larry, I'd be very happy! Because I no longer know where to look !
Thank you in advance for your help And Thank you for your kindness !!

Hi Vee, i found J.S. Willis & Beatrice Jackson in the 1930 US census. Listed as James S. Willis
They were living in Tutwiler, Tallahachie County, Mississippi. Not sure if this was his birthplace, just were they were living in 1930.
They are listed as roomers on the farm of Robert & Lea Aldridge.
Jackson, Beatrice age 27, single, birth abt 1903 Mississippi
Willis, James S., age 7, single, birth abt 1923 Mississippi
Mitchell, Lela B., age 1yr 6month, birth 1928 Mississippi
Not sure if Lela Mitchell is a sister or not but its possible.
Mr Willis`s enlistment record shows his yr of birth as 1922.
Hi Larry ,
WOW you are getting faster than me !! thank you again for your help !!

Miss Véronique,
I was wondering if you could please help me. I am a high school student attending Carlisle High School in Pennsylvania, and my AP US History class is participating in a national project sponsored by the National History Day organization to create websites for every soldier buried at the Normandy American Cemetery. My soldier is Donald J. Mallard, and I have some information on him including the photo already on your blog but I have reached a dead end and really need some help. I was hoping if possible you could give me the phone number for his family you contacted or some information about contacting them so I could talk to them about him and thus properly honor him with the website I am making for him. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Anna Mallard
