I was helping a neighbor with some family history and she is just beginning what looks like a long long trip. Her parents and grandparents were born in the US in the Buffalo area and we did find some of her relatives listed in the Social Security lists. However there were others that we did not find and then began to wonder if they were not there because the Social Security had not yet begun, which I think is our answer. She was married in this same area of NY and we couldn't find her marriage on any of the other lists that we found. She is going to keep at it for now and we will see what she finds. Thanks again to everyone who helped and I have lots of good tips now to follow up as well. This is such a worthwhile listserve for me, who is relatively new to searching, via the computer and various systems, for more family history. Bunny Turner Nova Scotia bunnypat@eastlink.ca
