This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AFB.2ACI/4676.1 Message Board Post: I checked the Social Security Death Index http://ssdi.rootsweb.com seeking the death of the son Joe, Jr. There were two hits, but they might not be the person sought. Joseph D. HEINTZ died Dec. 7, 1907 and Joseph J. HEINTZ died Apr. 13, 1907. The SSDI does not show any connection to Delaware. If one of these men is Joe, Jr. and if you needed the maiden name of his mother, and if the stiff fee ($27.00) is no problem, you could look up his entry and click on "SS-5 Letter" on the right-hand side. Then print out the letter displayed on your screen and mail it with the fee to the Social Security Administration. It may take several months to arrive. Reg Niles
