MilQuest.com, a Norway-based online WWII research forums for WWII history buffs, genealogists, and ancestors of WWII vets, is now attracting actual American WWII veterans as members and European youths as fans through telling their heroic stories. Co-founder Arve R. Pisani estimates that 10% of the Web site’s registered members are veterans.

“Our initial aim was to establish a research forum for those of us who had family members who served in WWII and give them an opportunity to discover the role their loved ones played during the World War. We were surprised to see a number of veterans registering as members. Nothing pleases us more. We’re honoured to have these ‘old-timers’ as members, and we’re thrilled when they tell of their experiences in the forum,” said Pisani.

Many of the younger forum members are based in Belgium and the Netherlands, countries that were occupied by German troops during the war years and later were liberated by U.S. forces. Several of these young members, some even in their teens, have adopted U.S. war graves and use MilQuest.com in their research to reconstruct the soldier’s life and military career.
