How to get started:

 

To begin your military genealogy journey, please share as much of the following as possible:

🧑‍💼 Basic Details

  • Full name of the individual you're researching
  • Date and place of birth
  • Date and place of death (if applicable)
  • Known aliases or nicknames

🎖️ Military Service Information

  • Branch of service (e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force)
  • Service number (if known)
  • Rank and unit
  • Enlistment and discharge dates
  • Locations of service or deployment
  • Medals, commendations, or honors received

🗂️ Supporting Documents

  • Photos in uniform
  • Letters, diaries, or personal accounts
  • Copies of service records or discharge papers
  • Pension or repatriation files
  • Newspaper clippings or obituaries

🧬 Family Context

  • Names of parents, siblings, spouse, and children
  • Any known military service of relatives
  • Cultural or regional background (e.g., First Nations, migrant heritage)

🗺️ Goals for the Research

  • Are you building a family tree?
  • Seeking a service summary for commemoration?
  • Preparing for a museum or memorial submission?
  • Looking to connect with living descendants or unit associations?

Even partial information can be a powerful starting point. Richard’s expertise lies in piecing together fragmented histories and restoring forgotten legacies. If you’re unsure where to begin, he can guide you through a discovery process step by step.
