The recent thread on the SSDI betrayed a lack on information on what the SSDI was and what kind of access is available. So for for those who might be interested... The SSDI is a set of digital data, updated about every six months by the Social Security Administration. It includes anyone who has ever had a Social Security Number (or Tax Identification Number to the IRS) and has passed away. Since the first Social Security Numbers were issued in 1937, almost all people who have been gainfully employed since that year have been assigned one (I don't know off the top of my head the month the numbers were first issued). The SSDI is sold and/or distributed in CD form by several genalogy publishers, and they also give them away as a loss leader to people who buy a more profitable product, like a genealogy data base. But the data is also available on-line at at least two sites of which I am aware. One is Everton's at the following URL http://rro.everton.com/ssmdi.html Everton states that deaths as recent as December 1994 can be found there. Ancestry offers the SSDI at the following URL... http://www.ancestry.com/ssdi/advanced.htm Ancestry's data is more current. At least I found some deaths listed in it from 1997 and I believe they state somewhere on their web site that they update the data when the Social Security Administration releases new data. So, if Jerilyn Johnson wants to offer lookups in her SSDI CD and is willing to do them, that's fine. But, if one has access to web (in other words doesn't use a free email service without web access) then you can also go directly to either of the sites listed above and do your own search. Both sites are easily to use but present the data is different ways with some variations in speed. One's preference between the two is at best a personal choice. There is also a strong possibility that other genealogy publishers have posted the SSDI data on line, since it's cheap to do (it's free) and very useful. Go looking. You may find a third site. Good hunting, Kelvin Kean Elverson, Pennsylvania

If anyone has the 1870 LA Census CD I would appreciate a lookup of the following: Mahalie Kelley, b. 1864 LA Malucie Kelley, b. 1866 LA Miles Kelley, b. 1868 LA All brothers and sisters..... Thanks in advance for any help. Joel jslayton@mev.net

I don't know but it's silly. I've received a lot of help from various people since I started my research on the Internet. There's too many helpful people here to let one "offended" person discourage me from asking another for their assistance with SSDI or anything else. ---------- > From: JIMNORT <JIMNORT@aol.com> > To: KELLEY-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: SSDI I have access to > Date: Saturday, May 16, 1998 10:48 PM > > > > How is it that feelings and feathers get ruffled so easily?! > > JRN >

I am trying to locate the ancestors of Mary Henderson KELLEY, born Feb 1865 in Henry Co VA, died 3 Oct 1926 at Salem, VA. She married ca 1888 James W. "Will" CLIFTON, born 10 Sep 1860 Rockingham Co NC, died 11 Apr 1928 Salem, VA. Her parents might be John KELLEY and Amelia B. JONES. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you compare these dates to dates listed in the Ancestral File computerized index there will be several differences. I believe the census to be the more reliable of the two due to the census enumerator obtaining the information directly from the families involved. I any of the above information makes a tie with your family I would like to hear from you.

Hello, I'm brand new to the "Kelley" list, and I am researching the following: KELLY, James M. b. 8 Feb 1817 (near Nashville, TN) d. 15 Apr 1899 Rocky Comfort, MO he married Polly RANDEL 1836, Perry Co., TN b. 1 Dec 1818 Perry Co., TN d. 8 Aug 1908 Rocky Comfort, MO Note: James M. Kelly was an attorney in TN, and later was a judge in MO. I have much information on the Randel's, but nearly nothing on the Kelly's. I do know, however, that James M. Kelly had a brother named Jasper Newton "Pete" Kelly. Also, Jasper Newton Kelly had a granddaughter named Lena Jo Kelly (Mrs. Alfred W. Glaser) who I understand did a lot of research on the Kelly line that I would like to find. Back to the family of James & Polly Kelly. The first 6 were born in Perry Co., TN, and the last 7 were born in MO (around the Rocky Comfort area). All the children lived to adulthood, and most were married in MO. 1.) William Jasper Kelly, b. 1837 2.) Amos Newton Kelly, b. 1840 3.) Rowan Marion Kelly, b. 1843 twin 4.) Rebecca Ann Kelly, b. 1843 twin 5.) John Milton Kelly, b. 1845 6.) James Mathis (Matthews?) Kelly, b. 1848 7.) Nancy Jane Kelly, b. 1850 8.) George Riley Kelly, b. 1853 9.) Henry Boone Kelly, b. 1855 10.) Sarah Elizabeth Kelly, b. 1857 11.) Mary Caroline Kelly, b. 1859 12.) Allison Woodville Kelly, b. 1861 13.) Ulysses Sheridan Kelly, b. 1865 I hope this looks familiar to somebody. Thanks for your help. Kevin Kelly tinkev@aol.com

I think you are a wonderful person for even offering to do this for fellow genealogists. Being new to the game myself I need all the help I can get. Keep the postings coming, I say.

Jerilyn: Thank you so much for your kind offer. Any help we may obtain to solve some of our questions is welcomed !! My opinion, also!! I would like to know what the new genealogy program you have is called. Sounds interesting !! Take care and God Bless.

I appreciate individuals who are trying to help others. Sometimes a researcher, especially a new one, may not know where to go for this information and when someone takes the time to post it to try to help others, I say great. Maybe we all should be willing to share our findings with others. Maybe our own research will grow richly and abundantly.

Hello, I am looking for ancestors and siblings of Ida Kelley born 1842-1862. She married James Kidd. Their daughter was Edith Lenore Kidd born Dec 15, 1882 in New Jersey. My web page is http://www.jps.net/dcb Hope to hear from you. David Beck

These are my Kelly's. Does anyone have any information regarding them? My mother-in-law would appreciate finding out something about her family, which I haven't. Most of this came from my wife's baby book. So I could use any and all the help that I can. John Thomas was born in Limestone County, Alabama.
