?2 And are they all different men?

I can make out the DoB and the award (singular)
?3 When I click on the award he has I only see that one item; what button do I click to find a list of all his awards with hopefully serial numbers? I can't seem to find it.

?4 Once I have the name can I search by award? In other words can I search for just BMs(or whatever) within the 'Ivan Smith' results?

It might just be easiest to pay $20 for an award record card by standard research, then find the citations on your own through the database.

Using the database only, the best way I can think of is to create a set of possible matches based on the combination of awards your guy received. Then you could check the date of the first award to see if it matches your order booklet. But this method would involve checking nearly every record and you probably won't be able to narrow it down to one.

Yeah but, in this case all I have is a name plus three awards and their serial numbers. And from what I've found there are 30+ men with that particular name. There's no way a researcher can find that info in a 20 dollar frame. That's one of the reasons I mistrust "research".

Thanks, all, for helping me with this issue!

So that's a "no", then?

Thanks. I'll give that a shot soon.
