After two years I am raising the white flag and surrendering on the project i started in January 2018 https://www.geni.com/projects/Easy-Company-a-Band-of-Brothers/46452
I started with a list of 377 paratroopers who served with E Company and since then I have been thru the entire list twice looking for obituaries, gravestones, enlistment records, memorials, family trees and census data to match these American men born in the early 1900s. In doing so I've created or expanded on 281 trees on Geni, my goal in each case has been to either connect these men's trees to Geni's World Family Tree or to try to reach a tree size of at least 50 profiles in hopes that this will give them a good chance of being connected at some point in the future.
I've had a bit of help along the way and have actually been contacted by several veteran's children and one of the associations which has been nice but now I am at the end of what I can do alone and need help if the project is to expand any further.
Please spread the word.
PS I am going to post this message in several places so sorry if you get spammed a bit :)
