Searching for Information

11 November 2009

My sister and I have been trying to find out more information about our grandfather.  He passed away several years ago and we are looking for some of his military history and where he was stationed at during the war.  He would never talk about it while he was alive because it upset him so much.  We really want to know where he was sent to.  Someone told us that we should start by finding public records.  There are websites that assist you with this and then maybe we can find out more about his life.  I miss him so much and am hoping that this will answer some questions for us.
