Hello Ed,
The data below will get you started. You can request a copy of his social
security application for $27.00. It should have the names of his parents
listed. Follow the directions on the web page link below.
You also should be able to find him and his parents on the 1920 US Federal
census.
I hope this helps.

Hello, I am new to this list and looking for info. on my grandfather.
(Paul
Carpenter). Born abt 1920 and died abt 1998. I know very little about
him.
Except that he was from the Linglestown area near Harrisburg PA. He may
have
worked as an electrician in the state capital (Harrisburg PA) and drove a
VW
Volkswagen. I would appreciate and help.
Thank you
