According to my family, only two for the crew were found. My cousin Teddy has not been found according to them. If you find out anything, let me know. Antworten, Thanks so much for responding so quickly.

According to MACR 8200, Robert P. Stewart and Paul J. Terjak were found. So you are right. Rest is not readable to me in the MACR 8200.
Your cousin is still missing and listed in Tablets of the Missing:
