Looking for my grandfather

J.E. Wilson wrote on 2010-01-12 13:31:03.0

Comments: I am trying to find any information about my grandfather. My grandmother is South Korean and my grandfather was Italian American. All I know for sure is that he was serving near Seoul in 1956-1957. His name was Jack Watts and may have been a Major in the Marines. My mother was born Sept. 5, 1957. She has some memories of her father, but he came back to the U.S - possibly to Michigan in 1959-1961. My mother and grandmother moved while he was gone and she never saw him again. I believe my grandmother worked for him as a secretary. I would love to hear from anyone who may have any information that would be helpful.
