My maternal great-uncle died on 22 July 1944 in battle during World War II. He was buried in an individual grave, uncasketed and in a poncho, in Guam No. 2 Cemetery, Plot C, Row 2, Grave 10. He was disinterred on 28 November 1947. These dental charts were used to identify his body.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
