Just uploaded a new page on the history Fort Belle Fontaine. New photos of
the site including panoramic views and even a photo of the "Beautiful
Fountain" spring itself. Right now I am in search of rosters of soldiers
stationed there. I know they must be a national archives micro film roll out
there some place. However I did manage to find a roster of a officers of a
militia "rangers" company that heralded from the area of the fort. Should
have those up sometime this week.

I just did a search on surname "Johnson" and it turned up 1,055 individuals.

I have a question about the following unit from Henry County, they were Missouri National Guard or Reservist and called up in Aug 1917
2nd Infantry, Company F were men primarily of Clinton
They were assigned to the 35th Division, under the 311th Calvary.
They saw action at Argonne Forest
I have found some tid-bits on the 35 Div., but no mention of the 311th Calvary. From what I understand many units were placed in the 42nd "Rainbow" Div.
I'm a complete novice on WW I ... so any help would be appreciated

I am looking for information on these two gentlemen during the civil war.
They were living in Lincoln County at the time of the Civil War. Do you need
any other information about them??
Thank You very much
Dear List Members,
The First Quarterly Report for 2002 is going to be just a little
different than the one I usually send to the Mailing Lists I take care
of.
I tore my Rotator Cuff in November of last year and I find that I
cannot spend long hours typing on the computer during the healing
process, therefore I am going to send out one message to all of my lists
and skip posting the membership numbers this time. I promise to get
back to our normal reporting next quarter. Typing over 200 messages is
just
Go to www.interment.net and choose (in this order):
1) United States
2) Missouri
3) Saint Louis
4) Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
The burials are sorted by the first initial of the surnames. The address
and phone number are listed on the page with a link that will take you to a
map. If your man is not in the database, you can write the cemetery
directly to request information. You can also request a map of the cemetery
so you can mark the location of your ancestor's burial site. Good luck.

Anyone get the new Ancestry World War II/Korea Overseas Internment CD ? I
have it and I found an apparently big flaw. The CD includes no common
surnames like Williams, Smith, and Jones. But when I do a search on an
uncommon name in my family tree such as "Luce", it turns up 17 records.
While this probably is correct for Luce, the more common surnames should
number in the hundreds. Anyone else have problems with this CD ? It is a big
disappointment, even for the $10 it sold for.

Florissant,
I am seeking info on my Civil War relative who I believe may be buried at
Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis. He was Harvey Johnson, Union soldier who
was killed at the Battle of Salem, Dent Co. MO on 3 Dec 1861. The men
killed in this battle may have been buried at Rolla first, then moved at some
later time to Jefferson Barracks.
I would like to find out about Jefferson Barracks. Is this a National
Cemetery? Is there a mailing address (snail or e-mail) which would assist
me. Also, would there b
