Mary..,...Being a old Navy retiree your best to start is to contact the National Personnel Records Ctr. at 9700 Page Ave St Louis, Mo. 63132-5100. They also have a website www/nara.gov/regiional/mpr.html. Everyone that joined the Navy had a Id No. During that period who mentioned it was a 6 digit number. If you have access to any of his effects by all means retrieve it. It will help to pin point him. Hope this helps Mike Dorsey in the little town of Mechanicsville, Va.

Need to hire a pro Greetings, Listers. I'm considering hiring someone to research my grandfather's military record (US Navy, from about 1898 through WWII). Have any of you hired a researcher? I would appreciate any advice along these lines. Respond in the list or directly to my email address: metaphor@mbay.net.

Thanks, Mike. I don't want to do the research myself, though--I want to hire someone. I've already tried the preliminary steps on my own. However, even with my Bachelors degree, graduate work, and status as a published author, I am apparently unqualified for dealing with government forms.
