Welcome Welcome!!!
I was in your situation last year. My dads record was also destroyed during the fire and I couldnt all I could find on the internet was obits for former members of his unit. For six months I googled his unit every couple of weeks. I finally spoke to someone in his battallion who gave me a good idea of the 1251st trip through Europe. I still kept googling and lo and behold, I finally found a guy from his unit that actually knew him. He and I have been email buddies every since.
Hang in there!!!
