Good Morning Everyone, I am hearing that the Social Security Death Certificates are going up in cost (if you know the #) from $7.00 to $27.00 effective July 1, 2001. If you have waited to order some of these - this looks like a last call. Also, I didn't know this - what a great idea - for those that we do have we can add the info to the Post-em link at rootsweb on the Social Security Death Index. As follows (suggested from another list): > Fellow listers, > Here�s an appeal to all of you to pull out the copies of the SSAN > application forms you already have filed away in your "stuff" and post them at Rootsweb. > I just did it for the ones I have and it�s really easy. :O) > 1.
