If you check with the SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX (SSDI) - available in many locales on the net - it should have him in there = and will give you his birthdate as well. If you write a letter to Soc. Sec. - you can receive data from his registration card - which should show his parents, their nationality, etc. GOOD place to start. If ya need more help - hollar.
