One for the history books and need your help writing it (WW2, facts)

[woodcarver]

Hello, my name is Jeff Kleparek and I am a History Hunter, Treasure Hunter, or Metal Detectorist if you will. I have been searching some land around a historic area known as Brattonsville S.C. A small Revolutionary battle took place in the area known as Hucks Defeat. Over the last few years I have located what may be a campsite where union soilders were stationed during the reconstruction period following the Civil War. Several buttons and a sword belt plate have been found in addition to some WW1 and WW2 artifacts. last year a brass licence was found with the name of Andrew Boukedes. D---as pace Spartanburg SC 5-10-30 48487 6-22-33.
It also lists on the back white male 36 back brown 195.
Through some search on the internet I have located some limited Obituary information and a Social Security number. The Obituary info reads Andrew Boukedes Formerly Spartanburg H/O (Husband of) Juanolo Boukedes 4-14-61. This info was found on Spartanburg Herald and Herald Journal Obituaries 1961. As far as Social security info I have his birth date listed as November 30th 1898. SSN# 251-10-5810.
I would really like to present this piece of history to the family and try to get some information on why this licence was found where it was. I have gone as far as I can due to limited knowledge and I am hoping someone can help me locate any family members. Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried genealogy websites? There's a genealogy forum here on CD, too.

As for Social Security Records, you can request a copy of the microfiche on file. If it's available, it may have some information of interest.

Isn't there also a "locating people" forum here on C-D? Maybe someone posting there might be able to help.

Hi i have found 35 years ago and re-found today a us social security card with the name Alver Muriel Belcher i found it when i was 10 years old . My dad was a drover of cattle and i was kicking around a berry bush when i noticed a brass looking piece of metal with the statue of liberty on it and the name of the person. If any could tell me how to locate the family please let me know. (I found it about 100 klms out of charters towers queensland australia)
