GeneaVlogger.com On this episode of Youtuber Family Trees, we look into the paternal side the family tree of Max Miller from @TastingHistory. This research uncovered some very interesting stories related to World War Two, but required some in-depth research, including multiple FOIA requests.

Thank you to Alec Feretti and Joy Kestenbaum for their research assistance!

Joy is interested in making contact and communicating with descendants of those who served in the 97th General Hospital, especially from 1943-1946. If you are a descendant, you can contact Joy at jkestenb@gmail.com.
