Searching For Someone
Hi to all members on here! I am currently searching for my maternal grandfather, we were never given a name so we are going through DNA and researching ourselves. We have been lead to believe that the man we are looking for served in the US Military and was possibly stationed in Sculthorpe, Norfolk, United Kingdom during a period of 1959. We also think his name may be Burton Hall Allen Jr. I wonder if anyone could help me with any details of this man? |
