Hi Peter, I have never seen a digitized copy of the SS application. Infact the first time I ordered the paper copy I had no idea what to expect. Once I locate the family member on the SS death index, I then print out the application for requesting the family members form. The freedom of information act allows us to obtain this info for a fee, but worth it. The form has the individuals name, current address date birth date & place of birth, parents names and current place of employment. Also their signature is required. There are a few boxes with questions regarding sex, race & if they've requested a SS # before. The SS number assigned to them is also on form. So it's pretty informative for those who have no info to go on for starters. Death Certs are the easiest to start with & the SS death index is also helpful. Hope this helps. Good luck.
