On Monday I began a project for Veteran's Day to transcribe all the names on the war memorials located on Londonderry, New Hampshire's town common. I started with the Civil War monument, and today I have listed all the names found on the Korean War monument. As I type these words, I'm watching the President speak from Seoul, Korea, preparing to make a speech to honor our American Veterans. Serendipity! I'll continute with this project tomorrow, with a transcription of the Vietnam War memorial.

What a wonderful Veterans Day endeavor for you to undertake!
ReplyDeleteI served in the Korean War with Warren C. Smith. I met Warren in Nashua, NH in 1964 or thereabouts. Warren was a real hero. I moved to NC and lost track of Warren.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any info about Warren, I would like to know if he is still living or if not where he is buried. I would like to let his family know that I went through jump school with Warren and what a great guy he was.
Please contact me at; bswan3@nc.rr.com
My name is William C. Swan. Warren and I had the same initials.
William, thanks for your comment. I hope that the Smith family might find this post and your comment online. Perhaps you will make a connection. You might want to also contact the Londonderry VFW for information on your friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and the advice. I will follow up on it.
DeleteI know you do extensive genealogy work.
I don't know if you would be interested or not, but my fathers ancestors arrived in the Haverhill, MA area in the 1600s and some were Loyalists during the Revolutionary War and therefore were exiled to Canada in 1783. My great grandfather was born in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada. 185-? and my grandfather was born in Alexandria, NH 1889. and returned to the Haverhill, Ma area sometime in the 1920s.
I am having trouble connecting the dots. My great grandfathers name was Charles Swan and my grandfathers name was William Charles or James(not sure about the middle name) Swan. I am 86 years old and have done some research on my paternal side. I have not been able to confirm the Loyalist story but I believe it is true from what info I have from relatives. But I can't find any verification
But I did find a few Swan surnames in the surrounding Haverhill, MA area and a few in the PEI 1891 census.
Do you have any knowledge of how I might go about finding more info on the Swan line?
I have a large family. Eight children, 19 grandchildren and sixteen and counting great grandchildren, and I would like to make them up a journal of their ancestry. I have a membership in a PEI genealogy group, but so far I have not been able to get any more info than I already have.
I would like to hear from you, in as much as you are located in the close area that my fathers family lived for generations.
Thanks and Best Wishes.
William Swan
