documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new

Inclusion of names in Florida
World War II Casualty List has been determined
solely by the residence of next of kin at the
time of notification of the last wartime
casualty status. This listing does not
necessarily represent the State of birth,
legal residence, or official State credit
according to service enlistment.
Casualties listed represent only those on
active duty in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard, resulting directly from enemy
action or from operational activities against
the enemy in war zones from December 7, 1941,
to the end of the war. Casualties in the
United States area or as a result of disease,
homicide or suicide in any location is not
included.
This is a state summary taken from casualty
lists released by the Navy Department,
corrected as to the most recent casualty
status and recorded residence of next of kin.
Personnel listed as MISSING are under
continuous investigation by the Navy
Department, and therefore will be officially
presumed or determined dead. Some will be
found alive. The last official notice to next
of kin will take precedence over this list.
The WOUNDED tabulation represents a count by
individuals and includes only those whose next
of kin were officially notified during the
war. It does not reflect the number of wounds
inflicted by the enemy since many individuals
were wounded more then once and many minor
wounds were recorded only by Purple Heart
awards in the field of action. Complete data
on all wounded naval personnel will be
available later.
