Surnames: Brock
Our family is in search of a Marine named Charles Brock who was stationed in Samoa, island of Upolu during 1942-44. We have completed a DNA profile linking our father to the "Brock" surname. This post is on behalf of our father who is 67 yrs of age. We know that the American serviceman survived the war because our father continued to receive care packages up until 1950. The communication between our native grandmother and the American serviceman had also ceased by this time for reasons unknown.

Dear Champlain9, Thankyou for your enquiry. After many years of hurricanes over the years, many letters and such have been lost. The only information I can offer is either his sister's name was Marilyn or the return address was from the state of Maryland. As for his date of birth I can only offer what was past down to me which could be he may have been in the age range of 25-30 years old. Feel free to contact me for any other inquiries.
Thankyou, Pearl Block e-mail(ug3_inc@yahoo.com)

The only know information is his name. From the stories Ive heard, he could have possibly had a sister named Margaret. My Dad has completed the DNA kit from Ancestry and he has some close markers with some Brocks members here on this site.
