Answer 1

. A 'free ' site probably won't help you.

You might have to pay $300 to a professional IF it's not too complicated a search.

But Google 'Genealogy search' for starters.

Answer 2

look under south Carolina vital records/ genealogy dep.

for silvy brown- also look under Silvia or other similar names

you might be able to find a marriage record,

if you find a birth certificate a lot of times they list parents ,how many other children and addresses, and if person was a twin

for willie you might want to look under William or billy

if you have already not checked out these sites they might help.

Answer 3

We need a little more exact detail for us to help because the surname Ervin is too common. Do you know what country Willie was born in? Can you give us the names of his brothers and sisters?

These are the Willie Ervin in the WW II draft records.

Do you think one of them is your grandfather?
