My uncle Jim(James) middle inital was J, I think or P(Patrick).
He was born in Ma (Peabody or Salem Ma)
Parents: Patrick Bradley and Mary Ann O'Donnell both of them born in Co Donegal Ireland.
Jim had 5 sisters. Susan m Michael Dirocco,
Helen m Ted Tuffli, Margaret m Arvo A Nelson,
Mary m John Henry Lynch, and Theresa(Tess) m Dr Alexander Kotarski all in Ma in the Salem area.
Jim died in Saugus Ma in Jan of 1957.
His widow Dot just died this past March 31 2009 in Danvers Ma.

What I have been looking for is any information pertaining to Jim, The information on his unit is interesting though.
I was hoping someone would be able to help with more info.
on Jim and his service.

Jim would be about 97 now, so its likely most if not all his buddies in the Army are deceased,. I'd also like to know if there were other men from the Salem and Peabody MA area in the same unit. and who they may have been.
Can't find that either.
Getting out to Waltham, NARA, is next to impossible for me.
and with my vision, I can't read films(micorfilm etc).

Thank you once again. Sorry to ramble.
Barbara
