More family matches!

I have a My Heritage site for my genealogy. At first I did not like it but I think it was because I didn't understand much about it. I had been getting some smart matches off and on but not on a consistent basis until today when I went and looked at my site. I have over 2300 smart matches to confirm and there are a ton of record matches as well!! I am thinking that it just too some time for My Heritage to search for my matches. Now I'm wondering if a data package would be worthwhile?? I already have ancestry.com, Genealogybank.com, and fold3.com. Do I really need a data package for My Heritage?? Is the information any different??

I am, however, very excited about the new connections I am making!!

You can view my My Heritage site at http://www.myheritage.com/site-199052461/thomas-seigfreid.

You can see my ancestry.com family tree at http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/48698875/family?cfpid=20145262727&selnode=1

Happy cousin finding!!

Marine Casualty Card Database

While I was writing Top 10 Blog Posts for 2019 I discovered that my top post was US Marine Casualty Cards from 2014. Wow! {There is also an update to the original post here where I show some more information that was sent to me.} I went back to read the post and discovered that the links no longer work. I did a little digging and found a link to the Casualty Card Database at the Marine Corps University website. At this site you click on the war you want to search and download a searchable spreadsheet. Once you locate your Marine you send an email to request the card. There are also links to download information about what the codes mean on the cards. I also found that you can search the U.S. Marine Corps Casualty Index, 1940-1958 , at Ancestry.com. It gives the casualty date, type, unit, and service number. There is a link to go to another website from the Ancestry database but that link does not work. {I believe...
