Hi Tracy, Is this your dad? Kenneth FEDDERICKE Birth Date: 10 May 1927 Death Date: 8 May 1999 Social Security Number: 325-22-1765 State or Territory Where Number Was Issued: Illinois Death Residence Localities ZIP Code: 61336 Localities: Lake Wildwood, Putnam, Illinois Magnolia, Putnam, Illinois This is from familysearch.com. Do you know where he was born? Maybe someone could look in the 1930 census for him as a 3 year old. If he lived and died in Putnam County, that would be a good place to start. Also, look at ILgenweb.com for Putnam County and possible online records. The Illinois State Archives has a wonderful site but not for records this recent. Did he have a will? Joan in Illinois
