    WWI DRC

  • Notes 
    • Because he is identified as "John Will Trollinger" on his birth record and referred to as "John Will Trollinger" in his daughter, Josephine's death record, it appears that his middle name is simply Will and not William even though he is identified as "John William Trollinger" on his WWI DRC. Hopefully someone has conclusive evidence of what his true and full birth name is.
