His death certificate would be a good start to finding out more information. He also had a social security number beginning with the numbers 402, which is code for Kentucky. It's a good indication that he lived there when he applied for his social security number, but not a guarantee. One can apply at any social security office and not necessarily where one lives. Good hunting, Tony
