WWI Soldier Laid to Rest at Arlington National Cemetery

Megan Smolenyak was recently involved in researching the genealogy of a World War I soldier whose body was recently discovered 88 years after the battle in which he died. As Megan writes, "The case was challenging, partly because the soldier was an Irish immigrant. Born in County Galway in 1892, he, a sister and two brothers had come to America, but only the sister married. She was swiftly widowed, so had only one child, who in turn, had only one child. It was this lean trail that I followed to Michael Frisbie, Private Costello's great-grand-nephew."

Megan attended the funeral for the WWI soldier yesterday at Arlington National.  The French government even sent a representative. You can read Megan's report and see the pictures at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/megan-smolenyak-smolenyak/wwi-soldier-laid-to-rest_b_643757.html
