Is there a way to find information on military service records online? I was wanting to track down my grandfather's (since deceased) records from WWII.

Here ya go, not totally an online deal though.

A few years ago I desired to find out my late fathers military records. He served in WW2 in the Navy.

There is a site that you can begin the process on. But you will need to send information by snail mail. You can do the entire thing by snail mail.

Okay did some digging through the paperwork I ended up with. Try this url for national archives and records administration

http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/

if you are a deceased veterans next of kin you can request info from

http//:vetrecs.archives.gov

Here is the address that i dealt with

National Personnel Records Center

Military Personnel Records

9700 Page Avenue

St. Louis, Missouri 63132-5100

I had to have his Social security number. I was lucky that my step dad is awesome with paperwork even in his 80's and he had my father SSN in his records. I received my fathers entire military service record. Shows enlistment records, where he was stationed at any time, citations, notice of seperation. Lots of cool stuff to know finally.

Good luck with it!
