The SSDI, taken from the U.S. Social Security Administration's Death Master File, is one of the key resources available to genealogists today. It contains those individuals who were assigned Social Security numbers and whose death was reported to the SSA. Note: Access to the SSDI is FREE to all who visit NewEnglandAncestors.org. This database contains the names of more than 73,644,336 individuals, most of whose deaths were recorded after 1965.
