Where to begin
I don't know to start looking for my Grandfather's Army records. What I do know according to my father is that his dad joined the Army around 1927-29, couldn't hack it and returned home to Maine where the MPs were waiting for him. He was tried and covicted for desertion supposedly served 3-4 years prison time. My dad claims his father did his time at Ryker's Island. I thought Ryker's was a NY state pen. Was it part of the Federal prision system back then? I know he was released around 1932 because he was married and my uncle was born in 1933. One more thing I don't have any service ID info either.
Any suggestions is truly apprerciated.Ryan
