    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McQueen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JW.2ADI/2191.2 Message Board Post: The rootsweb.com version is only up to date as of March but I found the listing at the NEHGS: Wayne L MCQUEEN 497-28-0332 28 May 1928 20 Apr 2006 last residence Roseville Placer CA 95678 MO According to the SSDI guide available at rootsweb.com: Beware of making assumptions about the state of residence at time of death. The one listed as "Last Residence" (more properly should be called "address of record") in SSDI is not necessarily the place of death. This was brought home when researching an individual who died while on vacation in Florida. His "last residence" shows up as New Hampshire, which was his legal residence (or address of record) at the time, but that is not where he died. Consider the possibility that a person might have had two official residences also; many "snowbirds" do. Read the search results carefully. The actual place of death is not shown in the SSDI. Some records show where "last benefit" was sent, but that is not necessarily the place of death or the deceased's address of record either. "Last Benefit" only refers to the payment of the lump sum death benefit (a burial allowance of about $250 that went to the surviving spouse).
