You are very welcome.I can't imagine how traumatic it must have been for families to put a relative on a ship & never know what happened to them.
If you have any clues as to how Damazy may have "Americanized" his name (first and last), it might help find him & his family in the 1920 & 1930 census, etc. (or perhaps you know the most common misspelling of name). I would be glad to search again.
Usually when I can't find someone I try to figure out how name would have sounded when spoken with an accent but I don't know how to pronounce his name.The census enumerator filled out the form (vs handing form to who answered the door) so the names are often spelled how/what the enumerator "heard" or thought he heard.If you want me to look again, could you give me the phonetic pronunciation of last name? Also if you know if they stayed in the greater Milwaukee area??
There's a lot of confusion about WWI Draft Reg Cards. Please advise relatives in Sweden that having a WWI Draft Reg Card DOES NOT mean he was in the military (he probably wasn't because of physical issue with his hand & he had dependents); draft registration cards were only for "registering" (to give government a list of available men & where they were living); doesn't mean he was ever drafted.It was the law that all men living in US between ages 18 & 40 register, citizen or alien.
