**Where do I start?**

[robberry]

I found this WW1 dogtag the other day. I want to reunite it with the family. As I'm sure the owner is no longer with us(maybe?). Anyone know where I should start? Maybe someone has connection? Heres a pic...thanks for looking...Rob

Don't know how to find him. For your info, dogtags were first introduced on 20 Dec 1906 and they started placing serial numbers on dogtags on 12 Feb 1918, so it could be from the last of WW1.

Thanks for the info...I guess I meant WW1 era..lolz

go to familysearch.org which is the mormon genealogical website. Click on the search tab. type in the name from the dog tag. Click on the listings and determine which one he was and where he was from. Once you know where he was from and where he died go to switchboard.com. Click on the find person tab. Type in the last name and that town and see if there are any listings. If there are they most likely are his family and you can send them a card asking if they are related and want it back.
good luck, siegfried schlagrule

If you found this in Cal I would start at the local library and find out if he had any relatives still around. Maybe even take a ad in the local paper.
