Subject: [VA-ROOTS] veteran's info
I need a resource and am reaching out to this list for help.
My father's brother died in 1984 leaving no children. Now, at 76 yrs, I am
the oldest person.....the matriarch....in the line and trying to get the
family history down for my grandchildren. The brother was a WWII dive
bomber pilot, flying off the USS Essex at Tarawa, Wake and Truk Islands. I
have tried to obtain his service records but have been advised that since I
am not a direct descendant, his child, grandchild, etc., these records are
not available to me.
Is there more than one way to skin this cat?
M Preston
