----- Original Message ----- From: <joe.sandy@comcast.net> > SO DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE DIED? COULD ASK FOR AN OBIT. Her son completed the data for the Death Certificate and also would have had the input for any obituary. It appears the family do not have the information. An obituary is probably one of the last bonifide sources to look for truth, as most of the information is usually provided by a family member to a funeral home.

Ron . . . another question . . . when someone dies and the funeral home needs to apply to Social Security for whatever amount they will pay toward the funeral etc., would there not be some exchange of information at that time and if they have varying birth years on record, wouldn't they have to figure out what is going on at that time and get their records to match?? In this case however, I believe the other spouse had died first so that may not have happened because there would be no spouse left to claim that SS payment toward the funeral . . .
