Military service records are available from the National Archives although most from WWI and later were destroyed by fire (some information can be reconstructed). What time period did your relative serve? -----Original Message----- From: Carol [mailto:maranath@strato.net] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2000 8:50 AM To: NY-Military-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NY-Mil] Re: NY-Military-D Digest V00 #32 My relative lived in Harding Park, Clason Point, Bronx, N.Y. I am new to genealogy and need help. Could someone please tell me who/what to contact for more information about his military service. I know he served in the Navy. I have his name, date of birth, marriage and death. I know his wife's name, name of some of his children, his parents and siblings names. He did not die in the service. Where do I write? Is there an online site? What information is in military records? Will they have a photograph of him somewhere? Thank you for any help, Carol in Florida -----Original Message----- From: NY-Military-D-request@rootsweb.com <NY-Military-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: NY-Military-D@rootsweb.com <NY-Military-D@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, February 25, 2000 9:22 AM Subject: NY-Military-D Digest V00 #32
