Sir,
I like your Picture in the Forum of your Ancestors from Europe
So I did a DNA Test as well by Ancestry.com but all I got where a few names in the States I`m related some generations ago .
But never did I get some Infos about other Countrys I´m related to!
But that was my main intention about doing a DNA Test
So Can you tell me please how I can get such Infos ?
greetings

Hey there. I noticed lately there has been some WW1 US helmets for sale on e-bay with the letters "U" "X" & "Y". Is it possible that lets say the Army used "Z" stamped lids, the other branches possibly used the other letters due to contracts issued for Marines and Navy? Ex; X=Navy, Y=Marines and U=prototypes, or gov't dock workers?
I was just browsing E-Bay on "doughboy helmet" catagory and found 2 different sellers offering helmets with "ZB" stamped on them. So there's another manufacturing mark to add to the list.
