You can go to your local Legion!. They will be more than happy to help you find information on your veteran ancestor!. That is how I found out about my grandpa's first wife and daughter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have to admit that their WWII databases are disorganized and inconsistent!. I can find discharges, but neither a draft registration or enlistment document on the same person!. I suspect it's not because of the "free period", but instead that they haven't finished building their databases!. Their new Drouin collection of French-Canadians is still missing almost 8 million records that are published in the original books that they're transcribing from!.!.!.so they do seem to rush to press even if their information isn't complete!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes they are a little disorganised but you could always try the web site below they work with number of commercial providers including ancestry and findmypast!.

Good luck and good huntingWww@QuestionHome@Com
