Assuming she has passed away, I checked the Social Security Death Index for NY & NJ. Neither had Evella Marie but the following does present a possibility? MARIE BERTRAND SSN 158-24-4318 Born 19 Oct 1933 Last Benefit: 70069 La Place, St John The Baptist, LA Died Jun 1987 Issued: NJ (Before 1951) If this is a possibility, you could request a copy of her actual SS Application for Account Number (SS-5). Hope this helps? Jim
