Tianjin, China

Hi,

This is my third and last post for awhile. Beginner's excitement. To reiterate, my name is Kathleen Bacom. My Dad John Bacom served in Tsingtao as a commander of a (sorry) "group" of tanks. I was delighted to see so many references to Tsingtao.

This is the thing, my uncle James McGroarty (mother's brother) was also a Marine and also served in occupied China but in Tianjin north of Tsingtao, also on the Pacific, and immediately east of Beijing (Peking then). I see no references at all to either Tianjin or Beijing (or Peking). Perhaps, my information about him is incorrect. I plan on doing some research on him and another uncle's service this week. I have a lot of experience in genealogical research, so I expect to find some answers, but would greatly appreciate any information anyone has.

Thank you in advance.

Kathleen Bacom
