Doris: My mother's SSN showed up as her own and she was drawing off my fathers SSN. So I would imagine hers will show up. Also I remember reading somewhere that the states where not required to submit the deaths to the SSDI pior to 1962. So that may also explain why someone with a SSN does not show up.
