I was not discussing it , some one told me not to assume it because I could not find my grandfather or grandfather in the S.S.D.I. list, and I asked her why, was it discrimination. I was not assuming, I was asking a question. It is some reason I cannot find my grand parents on the List, or no where else. It is as though they never existed, I am only researching.Thank you very much.And now you cannot ask questions?.Everybody knows sex exists too, but it is on the internet,I always get these low down messages through my e-mail account,I block them and more come. People always want to tell people what to do. I will just stop reasearching if I cannot ask a question, no one wants to help me find any information on my grandparents, they want to tell me what do to.I thought that was how you research, by asking questions!I will delete rootsweb, I cannot find anything anyway on my grandparents..

Social security started in the late 1930's and most of the applications were made at that time. If the person you are looking for died before the mid 1950's they most likely had no social security benefits accumulated and as such a claim was never filed and they would not be listed in the SSDI.
