Herein are links to lists of individuals who don't fit the normal categories in Roster Records and Ancillary Records.
This section is primarily for my own use and not of general interest.
Individuals in the Pottawattamie Area WWII Dead Roster:​
  • Navy Department Omissions - US Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard roster members not in the 1946 Navy Department report of WWII deaths because their deaths were not the result of operations against the enemy.
  • Multiple Names - roster members who served using pseudonyms or served under multiple names.
  • Unexpected County - roster members not having a credible Pottawattamie area connection.
