Please note that certain restrictions imposed by the Privacy Act may make your search more difficult. The Act limits the disclosure of data to the individual themselves or someone acting on behalf of that person, or to those who can provide clear evidence of direct kinship to the individual being sought. In the case of children or grandchildren trying to locate their fathers resp. grandfathers, this means not a full street address but only the last known town and state, the state on discharge and, if deceased, proof of death will be provided by the government and the search has to continue from there.

As is the case in many other countries, there are obligations to register and no central records of names and addresses available to the public in the United States making it difficult to trace someone in the U.S. when their whereabouts are completely unknown.

For those trying to locate former or active Military Personnel SearchingForYou will be of assistance. From the smallest piece of information, no matter how out of date, a person can be traced to their current location.
