1. Have you run searches for their names and last known town/city?
It's amazing how much information you can locate just through a search on Google. Do you know their town/city where they might have gone to school?

Try running a search through USAF for the boy. Do you have his birth date? If you have the birth date, parents' names and town of birth, you can get a lot of information at the county courthouse or library archives. Some counties will look it up for you for a small fee. It's worth a call.

Searching on Google doesn't cost anything and is anonymous, so I'd give it a try with all the information you have and see what pops up. I'm no expert, but I've done a lot of family history searches and it is amazing what you can find. I even found an uncle who had a divorce after WWI that no one knew about. There are nice surprises, too.

Good luck!
