This is an excellent resource! I have some of the sources it is comprised of in paper or microfilm form and this is worlds better since it is electronic. I have spent up to 10 hours flipping through sources to find info on people and here it can be done in seconds!!!
Even for more common items (say WWII campaign medal docs) Dave's idea of looking up the unit commander to verify the signature is a great idea. Note though that many docs have "zam." written in pen near the signature showing that the deputy signed it on behalf of the named person so name and signature might not match.
