Can't find much about either Willie or Silvy!. But, if I have the right lady, it lists her parents' names, at least!. PS If Willie was born in 1915, he would have served in World War 2 (he'd have been only 3 when WW1 ended in 1918)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you have any other clues!? Any other kids names or the dates of your ggrandfather!?

There were 3 Willie Ervins from SC that had WWI records!. Do any of these names ring a bell!?!.
