Oscar Philibert’s World War II draft card included a surprise, the description of a tattoo. That knowledge posed a challenge. What could Gena learn about this tattoo that would enhance his life story? This case study includes genealogical and social history resources that provide ideas for how genealogists can incorporate social history into the facts they find on a genealogically relevant record.

Excellent presentation on a topic which I had not considered before, with lots of great information to enable us to look into other servicemen’s tattoos.
Great presentation. Never thought tattoos had any usefulness, now I see that they do.
My father served in the US Navy and had many tatoos that I never paid much attention to. I am so excited to ask my sister which tatoos he had now that I know that many commemorated milestones!!
Gena was very engaging. I learned a lot about tattoos. She really did lots of research on them but also on sailors and the times and styles of tattoos. It was very interesting.
Excellent! The topic is so interesting, as well as the research methods she undertook and the sites she searched to find the answers. Thank you!
Great information. Well done. I now know about the cupi doll. The Campbell Soup doll resembled the Cupi Doll. Interesting. I LOVE social history.
Very interesting topic. Stuff like this is what puts the meat on the bones of our ancestors. Love it!
An interesting new area of social research.
