Someone once told me that if the parents or surviving family of the deceased did not make a claim against the SS department for that survivor benefit of 200 or whatever it is now, that the name won't be on the list. That may or may not be true, but it's a thought. Another thing you could try is to search by date and place of residence at death. Terri -----Original Message----- From: Joyce G.
