The links below can help you.  One of the most important bits of info you will need is his social security number also sometimes the same as his "service number".  It could also help to know where he enlisted from- usually a hometown at the time of enlistment. As well as his full legal name.\n\nBut are you trying to find him, or his military records?\nThere may be other easier ways to find the person, since he is certain to have been out of the service for many years.\n\nThere are online phone, address, and background searches if you are trying to locate a living person.  You could start with a free one like www.whitepages.com \n\nIf you know him to be deceased then you could search death records of the states and counties where you think he might have lived.\n\nIf all else fails and you can get his social security number you can send a letter to him via the Social Security Administration. They will forward the letter to him if he is living. If he is not they may tell you, for their policy on this is would be good to call them and ask.

First of all -- try talking to your mother -- YOUR father should have left a copy of his DD214 (Discharge Papers) with either her or some family member IF he has had ANY Military Service in his background.\n\nIF these papers are not available from your mother or your father's family, and you can PROVE that you are the direct relative of your father, then you can go to this site and request a copy of the deceased father's military record:\n\nvetrecs.archives.gov

Unfortunatly with the military on a tight lock down they have shut down alot of websites but you can try geneology websites and look under old military records. you should be able to find it. Good Luck on your search.

Check www.military.com.  This helped me get in touch with some of my old Army Buddies.

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.

First, if he is a relative and deceased - you can now get a complete copy of his service record from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. I have linked them below (1st link). If you are conducting research or trying to reconnect with him (aka old Army buddy) you can try going through the 35th ID Veterans Board and try to reach him or someone who knows/knew him. I have linked that too (2nd link). Good Luck!

You could try contacting the RAAF. Also, the white pages and Acxiom's Directory Assist may also help. I've provided links to them below
