Seeking Navy record for Charles William Abrams III

Robert Mortensen Mar 15, 2021 8:23 PM

I am seeking Navy record for Charles William Abrams III, Service # 630 14 60 (1920-2010). I have Navy muster roll dates from Ancestry.com for months and years after 10 Feb 1943, but we need to know of his whereabouts during the specific period from Dec 1942 to 10 Feb 1943. This is to help confirm the likelihood of his biological fatherhood of my age 70+ cousin. He just learned from AncestryDNA that the father listed on his birth certificate is not his biological father. Using AncestryDNA matches to other close relatives, I have deduced that Charles is the most probable father with his brother Nash as another, but less likely possibility.

Dear Mr. Mortensen,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We suggest that you request a copy of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). OMPFs and medical records of enlisted men of the U.S. Navy who were separated from the service after 1885 and before 1959 are located at NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. To request these records, please mail a completed GSA Standard Form 180 to NPRC. For more information see Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF), Archival Records Requests.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NPRC will continue servicing requests ONLY associated with medical treatments, burials, and homeless veterans seeking admittance to a homeless shelter. If your request is urgent, please see Emergency Requests and Deadlines. Please refrain from submitting non-emergency requests such as replacement medals, administrative corrections, or records research until NPRC returns to pre-COVID staffing levels. Please check archives.gov/veterans for updates to the NPRC operating hours and status. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
