To all:- As promised, I checked a government site re Social Insurance Numbers versus equivalent in United States. The following does not sound very promising, but may change with new management in HRDC or other committees. Received from <sin-nas@hrdc-drhs.gc.ca> Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> ========================================== Form: Reply Text: (52 lines follow) This message is from the Social Insurance Registry: Ce message provient des bureaux de l'Immatriculation aux assurances sociales: -------------------------------------------- Social Insurance Number records may include death information. This information is used/shared for government purposes only. Deaths occuring in Canada are usually recorded by Offices of Vital Statistics of the province in which the event occured. We are not aware if a similar site as the US SSN's exist in Canada for this purpose. -------------------------------------------- To email our offices, please use the following address: Pour nous faire parvenir un courriel, S.V.P. utilisez l'adresse suivante: sin-nas@hrdc-drhc.gc.ca ---------- Original Text ---------- From: "Muriel M.
