5. Vietnamese Boat Stories: If you are from a Boat family and looking for a displaced family member (or know someone who is), please email me. I want to help.
6. Names of Vietnamese Boat People: There were close to 3 million people who were seeking freedom after the fall of Vietnam in 1975. Please help me build a database for those brave souls.

10. Military Access: I need access to the military information like overseas marriage licenses and military personnel assigned to Vietnam from the years 1984-1987. Please help me reach people that might have seen my sister. That info can also help us in the search for others.
11. Marriage Licenses: I need someone who knows how to search the database of marriage licenses in all states. My sister could have been sold to someone who brought her here to the states, or other circumstances could have caused her to end up here. Those same databases could also help in the search for others.If you can come up with anything else that could help me, please email terin@findingvu.com.
