They Worked For Their Country.

The men on this list worked for their country, it may have been a military service or was a civilian but all worked for the United States Government. When researching for a ancestor you never know when they will show up and under what subject matter they will be found. This is why you may see some repeats here, when I try a new subject I never know what name will come up, so of course there will be repeats. But there will be a lot of new names as well.

Note. You well see the statement ( Date of his death is unknown ), under a lot of these names this does not mean it is not know or can’t be found, it only means it was unknown to this author at the time of this writing.

Note. There will be additional information on all these names, so if you see a name you would like information on you can find my address in my profile, I will be glad to help you all I can.
