Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Al/Etowah/10832 Surname: Battles, Robinson ------------------------- The SSDI has Ross Battles SSN 416-14-4435 b. 8 Aug, 1900 d. Sept 1968 Residence: 35211 Birmingham, Jefferson, AL Thelma Battles SSN 418-36-5164 b. 27 May 1931 d. 28 Dec 1998 Residence: 35904 Gadsden, Etowah, AL I'm not sure if these folks are your grandparents, but thought I'd send it on anyway. You can request a form from Soc. Sec. each form is 7.00, but supplies place of birth, parents, etc. I have found it useful in trying to track down relatives. My grandparents also had a nasty divorce in the 1960's, so I know how it feels starting at ground zero. Good luck in your search. Michele
