using ancestry.com, he was returned for burial after the war to New York.

have you a copy of his MACR, Missing Air Crew Report? It may contain his Next of Kin Address?

available from www.footnote.com free with initial trial sign up.

The 1930 census has one Raymond W Seedorf born 1924 living in
Rockville Centre, Nassau, New York

The whole family and ages are:
