That is the problem. We cannot find them. His daughter and apparently all of them (all 8) do not know his ID and my uncle has a TON of stuff. Not organized, either. I fear we will try rifling through his tons and tons of stuff trying to find personal things such as records. He was a lawyer, and highly intellectual. Huge library, lots of records from lawyering and also from his many pie-in-the-sky schemes over the decades.
My cousin thinks eventually they will sort it out but we may need to bury him next to my sister in my parents’ plot in a church cem.
Thank you for your concern!
Maybe he got SS and you can find it somehow that way? Or maybe through his bank, and then find the military records through his SS? That’s if his military number was even his SS number. Peace and calm to your family, especially your mom.
