Subject: [PaCambri] Military Records World War One
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 11:36:54 -0700 (PDT)


I have a great uncle who served in World War One. The
family lost track of him after Dec.1947. I have the
place and year of induction and the mustering out
dates and places. However the NARA people wrote back
that his record could not be found. I did notice that
the info I sent NARA was typed by them on the form
they returned to me an obvious transcription of what I
origianlly sent them. They however had a typo
error as they had typed in his birth date as Nov. 11,
2018! My date was Nov. 11, 1898.

Someone on one of the lists I belong to in the past
had narrated the problme he had getting military
records and how he resolved that problem..if he still
is on the list could he resend his experience?

If you can find a military ID number can a person be
tracked without a surname? As amilitary veteran of
Worlk War One would he have gotten a small pension?
Family history whispers that this gu may have changed
his surname.

I believe he probably died in the state areas of MN,
WI, IO, ILL and most probably in the VA hospital in
MIlwaukee. But not having a death date or surname is
posing a problem. Any and all suggestions on how to
resolve this will be gratefully accepted.
TIA
Diane
