KB Barcomb bridges the complexities of WWI & WW2 military history with the personal nuances of family history.

A retired Army officer, her focus is on understanding the chronology and context of US military records, so as to more accurately interpret and analyze their content. She also has a working familiarity with WWI and WW2 Federal Agencies and their records. 

 KB is generally not available in 2026 due to ongoing research projects, but will respond to inquiries.  

Those with questions regarding nuances and details found in WWI/WW2 records are welcome to submit them to the military records & research discussion group she facilitates for the Kinseekers Genealogical Society (kinseekers.org). This informal and user-friendly forum is free and open to all.
