Nancy,

Though I believe there is a form by which you can attest to your relation
and the demise of all more consanguine kin but it may be fastest to go to
your nearest or state VFW for assistance in securing a marker for your
uncle.

Subject: Va. State Library question


I just received information from another group about records at the
Library of Virginia, "World War II Military Separation Notices Filed
in Virginia." On investigating, I found that only the veteran, legal
heirs, or other legal assignees can have access to these records. My
uncle was in the army, fought at D-Day, and never married. All of his
siblings are also gone. I have been trying to find out more, as I
would like to get a government issued tombstone for his grave at
Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond. Am I right in assuming that I am not
qualified to have access to his records? By this reading, no one can
access his files, as all he has left living are various nieces and
nephews.

Nancy
