I am trying to locate my dad's service records. He went to Scotland as a logger with the Newfoundland Forestry Unit. His service number was 1504 GARLAND GREENING from Port Blandford. Where can I get copies of his records?
Thanks for any help

Hi Stan,
Library and Archives Canada has his file but it needs to be requested by a family member. The information can be found on the L.A.C. website. Go under 'Databases' and use simply type his full name in under 'Basic Search'.

Good Luck,
shawn

Thanks Sholand for the reply. Unfortunately I'm having trouble zeroing in on my dads records, seems to be hundreds of leads. Can you assist me in anyway? Thanks.

Hi Stan,
This link http://collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_archives/index.php?fuseaction=genitem.displayItem&lang=eng&rec_nbr=793735&rec_nbr_list=793735,3610369 should be the page in question at the Archives.
It shows as being an 'open' file so access should be easy. Simply follow the instructions for requesting a copy of the microfilm. This may even be available as a request through your local library.

Regards,
shawn
