Excellent idea, Tina. Also, Bobbie, that is a very good idea, and one that will have great use for all researchers. I personally have no SS-7's to share, but will offer this to anyone interested in Bobbie's idea. We already have the Mississippi-L site in place, and that would be the perfect place to upload them to. If you are interested in this, attach them to email to me, I will index them and upload to the site. This might be a more permanent solution than Post-it's on WGW since the person who posts it may someday lose connection, thus the offer to share is mute. The website for the list will remain with the listowner as long as the list is here.

OR - probably better yet - post a message on the new message boards under "pensions" classification, and attach it to that. I had forgot that we can now include attachments to the posts. Post to either Location or Surname, or both. Original offer still stands, and open for new ideas.

They won't allow these to be posted under pensions as it doesn't have anything to do with war pensions. They would work under query, though. The subject line could read something like: SS-5 for John Doe (1906-1969) I would place a transcription of the record into the message and attach the copy in case others have trouble reading the copy that was uploaded. These would be great for posting under the appropriate surname. Location might also work if you can figure out which location to post it to. I know that with my grandma, she was born in Gloster, Amite county, MS, died in New Orleans, LA and is buried in Rosetta, Wilkinson county, MS. Which would I choose to list her under? Maybe the best idea would be to use the location she was at when she applied for the card and/or her maiden name for a choice of boards to post it to. Thanks for the ideas, Ken!
