Ancestry/Genealogy

looking for some unit histories if possible & any type of daily muster information, which might still be around. You have narrowed it down already to likely be an Armored Unit (if he was a tank driver). Try Ancestry (you can probably use the local library) or Fold3 as places to start.

My Dad served in the Navy in the Pacific & while I did have his discharge papers, I was able to track down some of the muster information from his ship as well when Ancestry had a free weekend on those records. They sometimes do that around Memorial Day & Veteran's Day as a carrot to gain new subscribers (which you probably already know).

Also the St. Louis records center has been working on recovering those records as they can and has moved within the last year to a spiffy new facility. Went there last December for a presentation they had on WWII, (Pearl Harbor & the Interment Camps) which was nice. Might not hurt to give them another try on your Dad's records, they might have been able to cobble together something.

Good Luck!
