      Sharon Iwanick is a volunteer for "On Eternal Patrol." It is a site that honors all WWII submariners. Last year she was contacted because of her genealogy interests. It was regarding a submariner. She was able to disprove it was her family, but got hooked on trying to find family of the submariners lost in WWII on the submarine USS WAHOO (SS-238) It was lost in Oct. 1943, in La Perouse Strait, Northern Japan. Sunk by a combination of air attack, shore batteries, and depth charging. Recently the Naval Dept. announced the submarine found, is the USS Wahoo. They are trying to locate family and friends of the submariner, to share the news and of the upcoming Memorial planned.

      With tracking this family, I have come up with a bit of data on the family of Juano Rennels. Gleaning from your web-site, I see a couple other leads I will try to follow. I'm hoping you possibly might have more data, a relative or contact, regarding this line, to help our search. I will gladly share my findings with you, if wanted.

      Reading the history books on the USS Wahoo, it appears Juano L. Rennels, married before one of his voyages and is unknown if he had children.

      Juano Lavell RENNELS, Ship's Cook, Second Class, was aboard the USS WAHOO (SS-238) He was inducted from California. He listed his next of kin, his wife, Mrs. Lottie Edith Rennels, 9831 Elizabeth Ave., South Gate, CA. {Los Angeles Co.}
