Hello Mary, have you tried Ancestry for your Fathers Army records? You should also be able to obtain other personal info for him.
If you don't have a subscription, you can do a trial search with them. Just remember to discontinue if you don't want to then buy a subscription.
Also try 'Tribal Pages' or Genes Re-united for others who may be connected to him.Last edited by Waitabit; 09-05-2011 at 5:24 AM. Reason: add on

Welcome to the forum
The gitrace.org site looks useful: it aims 'to help people trace their American GI fathers/families'. There's advice on where to search as well as contact details for local groups, including one in the north-west of the UK.Last edited by Neil Wilson; 09-05-2011 at 6:05 PM. Reason: url removed

Hi, I too am searching for my father, I was born in 1946 and my mum and dad were both in the army. Coincidently he was from Whiston, Liverpool. I have just come back from there searching the archives in Kirkby and Huyton. I am lucky because I did find a child maintenance order in some court records, sadly no dob or address BUT, he was arrested for non payment, I am now searching police records. I know how you feel, I didn't know where to start but keep a it, go down every avenue. What I have found is that all the people I have been talking to have been VERY nice and helpful. I for one am not giving up even though I now live in Cyprus and have to go back and forth to the UK. GOOD LUCK AND REMEMBER, THE INFO IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
