    WWI DRC

  • Notes 
    • Because James signed his WWI DRC with his mark being "X", it is assumed he was illiterate at the time. His name is provided by the registrar as "James Henry Trollinger". Because of that and because it appears all of his children went by the 'Trollinger' versus 'Trolinger' spelling, it can be reasonably assumed that James did go by the 'Trollinger' spelling.
