If they worked for the Rail Road you'll not find them listed in SS Index, they are listed according to what ever union that RR was under. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi All: Just to add to the confusion. "Railroad workers were enrolled in the . . . Social Security program, but from 1937 to 1963 they had numbers ranging between 700 and 728 as the first three digits. In 1964 their numbers began to reflect the same geographic location as other workers. Some railroad workers received Social Security benefits, but some did not. However, it is wise to check the SSDI in any case. The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board was created in the 1930s, and has records dating back to 1937, but they exist only for those whose employers were covered under the Railroad Retirement Act." It seems to me that I recall finding Railroad Retirement Act workers who died before 1962 in the SSDI. But I wouldn't bet the farm on it. -----Bob H----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wanda Powell" <aligator@fairpoint.net> To: <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 2:53 PM Subject: [NS-L] U.S. DEATH INDEX > If they worked for the Rail Road you'll not find them listed in SS Index, > they are listed according to what ever union that RR was under. > > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.5.446 / Virus Database: 269.4.0/759 - Release Date: 4/12/2007 > 7:58 PM > > > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.5.446 / Virus Database: 269.4.0/759 - Release Date: 4/12/2007 > 7:58 PM > > ---------------------------------------- > Basic List Commands: > > 1.
