we are trying to find an old army friend
i've never not been able to find ANYTHING on someone before
i have a name and the town we think he came from
i am either stumped or befuddled or something
tell me what avenues there are that i might not have thought of
The guy's name is Billy Cylde Scott ( i am not sure if Billy is the given name or if it's really William) from Natchez Mississippi
he's around 43 years old
he was stationed with my DH with the 32d signal battalion in both Frankfurt and Darmstadt Germany
i can't figure out how to do a vital records check for mississippi - all i can find is how to order a copy of either
i do not have a SSN or his parents name - i know he was married with children at one time but we don't know that info either (his family did not accompany him overseas)
any help...ideas...are most welcomed

Checking with Veromi there is a Billy Charles Scott, age 46, in MS. He might be a candidate because one of his former addresses is Fort Lewis, WA. Edited to add: Are you completely sure of the middle name of Clyde? Or could Charles be a mistake on Veromi's end?

so glad you found your friend! I have a childhood friend I would love to find but searching for her is hard because she has the most generic name ever. so do her parents and siblings. I've looked for her throughout the years but I'm sure she is married now so she probably has a new last name. oh well.  |

Just a suggestion for those of you searching for someone who likely has a different last name than the one you knew them by.... search on Veromi for a relatives name if you know one, parents, brother, etc. Sometimes you'll find the person you're looking for listed with their relative. The last name might be different but you might see a person with the correct first name and age and a little snooping around on the internet might confirm that this is the person you want. Genealogy is my hobby and this has worked for me many times.

I have one of those too! I'm looking for Rudy Rodriquez from Corpus Christi TX. He is older than 65 and served in the Navy with my husband. He was stationed on the USS Hanson. Do you know HOW many people with that name are in Corpus Christi? A bunch of guys who served together are all looking for him.

Do you know HOW many people with that name are in Corpus Christi? A bunch of guys who served together are all looking for him. Found the following on your Rudy Rodriguez. Can't say for sure the El Paso Rudy is the correct person but by the name and birthdate he very well could be. The Corpys Christi Caller-Times Page 12 Wednesday, October 2, 1968 ON CARRIER--Storekeeper 3. C. Rodolfo C.
