Seeking records of enlistment

Stacy,

Do you have information on your relative perhaps a name, DOB, place of birth. There are lots of people here that can assist you with many secondary resources.

Thanks,

Elliot Schneider

Dear Ms. Bethel,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

The World War II era Army Enlistment Records for approximately 1938 through 1946 are available via AAD (Access to Archival Databases). Please search the database by entering the last name, # sign, and first name (both in caps). There may be some gaps in the records.

Selective Service records for individuals who served after World War I and born before 1960 are in the custody of the National Archives at St. Louis (RL-SL), P.O. Box 38757, St. Louis, MO 63138-0757. There are two types of records: ledgers and cards.  The ledgers are in the public domain and not restricted by privacy.  The cards are considered personal information and written permission for release, a death certificate, and/or an indication that the information is requested for genealogical purposes should accompany the request for copies of the cards. Please complete Form NA-13172 to request a search of these records.

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