George,

I found the following post in the IT board from 2011. What can you find for William C. Womac?? My friend's name is William C. Womack, and he is now 75, and now thinks that he had no relative in the fight, as the Womack's relatives given previously didn't fit his family tree! I still have some hope that he does have at least one.

Thanks.
