On this matter I have a question, I wish to find records of a family member
who run off to Canada to be able to enlisted since he was not of age at the
time and could not join the forces here is the US (wwII). Since he was a US
citizen things are a little bit complicated as the records go. Do you have
any idea how can I track down his records?
Thank you all!
