HI FOLKS LOOKING FOR ANY INFO I CAN FIND ON HERBERT HENRY BAXTER. HIS SON JOHN B, BAXTER WAS BORN IN 1942 IN ARKANSAS. ANY INFO WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. . THANKS BESSIE BAXTER TURLEY TENNESSEE >

Have you gotten a copy of John B. BAXTER's birth certificate? This would list both his parents names and the states they were born in. You can order that from the State of Arkansas Office of Vital Statistics. http://www.healthyarkansas.com/certificates/certificates.html Another resource would be his social security application (which he filled out himself). This would also list his parents names and their birth states. This can be ordered from the Social Security Administration for $27. Go to: http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi Here is a sample letter you can send to Social Security Admin to request the copy of his application: Social Security Administration Office of Central Records Operations Attention: FOIA Workgroup P.O. Box 17772 300 N. Greene Street Baltimore, Maryland 21290 Please send me a photocopy of the actual application for a Social Security card (Form SS-5--Social Security Number Record Third Party Request for Photocopy) filed by the person listed below. I obtained this information from the Social Security Death Master file at RootsWeb.com, Inc. who obtained it from the Social Security Death Master file, originally compiled by the Social Security Administration. My understanding is that the fee is $27, when the Social Security number is provided or $29 if the Social Security number is unknown or incorrect. Enclosed is a check or money order for $___________, made payable to the Social Security Administration. Thank you for your assistance. BAXTER, John B. (Soc. Sec. #) Birth: mm/dd/1945 Sincerely, Address: Daytime Phone Number: ***** You could also request a copy of Herbert Henry BAXTER's social security application, which would get you his parents names and places of birth. Good luck and happy hunting! Lois in Auburn, CA
