World War II Casualty Lists
While trying to find an obituary or notice of death for my husband's relative who died during World War II, I came across a great resource for anyone researching Kansans who served during World War II - particularly those who were injured, captured or killed.
The Manhattan Mercury (Manhattan, Kansas) had a series of articles entitled 'War Casualties' that appeared on a regular basis. The Manhattan Mercury was the only paper that had this type of article. Since Fort Riley is near Manhattan, that may have been a factor in the papers decision to publish this information. This paper is searchable on Newspapers.com.

What Is the Crawford / Alexander Link?
As I was transcribing deeds from Jefferson County, Indiana, I found a connection with a guardian record. In the deed, Isaac Crawford sold land to Thomas Alexander. In the guardian record, Thomas Alexander is reimbursed for expenses as a guardian of an orphan on Isaac Crawford. So, what is the connection between Thomas Alexander and Isaac Crawford?
