I would like to have a list of the Bataan Death March casualties and
surviors along with information about the men's home state, etc.

This would be exceptionally difficult even without your added request
of information about each prisoner's home state since not all
prisoners went to the same camp, survived the ordeal or were from the
US at all (some were even civilians believe it or not).

For the price you have selected, I can direct you to a database where
you can search for these people yourself if that will suffice, or
alternatively, if you are looking for someone in particular I would
offer to search for you.

I am sorry to have asked such an uninformed question.  I am looking
for information about a cousin that was on that march that survived. 
I only remember that we called him "Buba" and he was from Texas,(of
course).  I don't remember his last name.

Also, I am looking for information about a great uncle named Robert
(Bob) Cochran, born in Ohio and lived in California.  He died sometime
during the march or a camp.

Hope this helps.

As I mentioned, I can direct you to a database where you can search
for these people yourself if that will suffice as an answer. Without a
name, of course, you will have to search it yourself to see if any of
the names jogs your memory. I have no way of searching for this
relative of your without his name. Would you like me to give you this
database as an answer?

I should also mention that ROBERT COCHRAN, who died in captivitiy in
the Philippines, is indeed listed among them.

It would be good if you would direct me to the database where I might
search.  Will it be the data base where you found Robert Cochran's
name?  Anyway, thank you very much.

Dear tanglefoot-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question.

Here you will find the US Government’s Prisoner of War database that
lists the persons taken prisoner of war during World War II between
the years 1942 and 1947.

This is the record on Robert Cochran:

I’m sure if you can obtain the actual name of your other relative you
will be able to find him listed here as well. Good luck.

I hope you find that that my research exceeds your expectations. If
you have any questions about my research please post a clarification
request prior to rating the answer. I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga

Thank you so much for helping me when my question should've been
reached before being asked.  My $ limit didn't help much either.  This
is my first time and I didn't want to spend enough to cause my husband
to go balistic.  You are great and patient.  Thank you so much.  Jana

About 66,000 Filipino and 11,796 U.S. soldiers surrendered to the
Japanese forces. The Japanese, unable to feed the wounded and starving
POWs, forced the captives to take the 61-mile "Bataan Death March" to
solve the problem.
