Hi Everyone, I received this information from another list I am on and thought it was worth while passing along to you. SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX (SSDI) UPDATE. The February 2000 update of the SSDI is now available to be searched at RootsWeb, making RootsWeb's SSDI database the most current available with a total of 63,305,772 records, significantly more than the total of 62,917,259 records in the January 2000 update. The reason for the nearly half-million records increase in just one month is that RootsWeb's Randy Winch noticed a glitch in the way the government handles the updates, figured out what to do to make it right, then completely rebuilt RootsWeb's database from the updates. In the process, nearly a half-million records that had been missed in the past were discovered and included in the current version of RootsWeb's SSDI database. Constance
