    I searched for a person on this website and I got a hit.

    However, the hit doesn't give much information. I only get a name and date of death (place of birth = "Ireland" :-( ). I am not sure if this is the person I am looking for. How can I get more information on this person? I assume that his death record would probably contain some more information, but what country would that be in? (He fought in USA army). And is there anywhere I could contact to get some military records for him?

    As he was with US Army, may be worth checking Ancestry.com (may require subscription).
