This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zJB.2ACE/1954.1 Message Board Post: I often use http://ssdi.rootsweb.com to find a locality for families. I use the "advanced search" feature, enter the surname, county and state for the last residence. This gives me a town, county for that surname and helps focus on local cemeteries. This only finds folks who had Social Security and who died after 1937. So it won't locate old timers. Board Administrator
