Are people from myanmar called myanmarese or myanmese?

There should not have such terms like "Myanmarese" or "Myanmese". I, as a Burmese, like only refering to me as "Burmese" or "Myanmar".

The demonym(resident of locality) of Myanmar(country) is Myanmar. Burmese are a larger ethnic group who have more cultural influence in Myanmar. Thus, Burmese can also be used as demonym, although other minor ethnic races will prefer to be called as Myanmar.

Myanmarese or Myanmese are invalid usages.

How do you find information on 'The Burma Doctor' Dr Gordon Seagrave who was well known for his mobile clinics during World War 2 in CBI Theater?

Dr Seagrave wrote two autobiographical books, one titled "Burma Surgeon" and the other "Waste Basket Surgery", based on his experiences. You might find them in the library.

Dr. Seagrave was a medical missionary before the war. My father was an Army medical officer in the CBI theater during WW II and met Dr. Seagrave. I've read a book belonging to my father about Dr. Seagrave titled: "Burma Surgeon" Gordon Seagrave was my husband's great grandfather. He also wrote a book titled "Waste Basket Surgery" about his surgeries preformed. This is also a very interesting book. Your best web search is "Burma Surgeon" or "Gordon Stifler Seagrave". The Doctor and Colonel was quite the hero and humanitarian. He performed surgery on the wounded along the Burma Road while marching in retreat from the Japanese. He earned medals for valor from Britain, Burma, and the US; an exceptional man.

He had five children, four boys + one girl. One of the boys drowned at an early age. His son Sterling is an accomplished author (I wonder if he is still in hiding from the Chinese Mafia?), and along with Weston and the third son, all are unspoken war heros in their own right. Weston was an excellent cook, mastering many dishes from the Burma region.
