Jenine, here in Clawson MI the funeral director did report my husband's death back in October. He told me he would handle SS. However, this may not be the case with all funeral directors. I still haven't received the so-called death benefit, but they keep reassuring me that it's on the way. I'll believe it when I see it....the amount is still only $255.00.

I may be wrong, but I thought it was the undertaker who reported it to SS.  My Dad died at age 60, on Thanksgiving Day 1972.  He had worked all his life, but hadn't yet claimed SS.  My Mom filed the necessary paperwork to claim the death benefit..(Isn't that a joke)..& I went with her to the local SS Office.  She rec'd the $255.00 if I am remembering correctly as this was 38 years ago.

Dear Terry: Thanks for your reply. I have not been able to establish the home county of my Boyle ancestors. I have spent many hours in that attempt. I have done research in Ireland and through the usual sources in the US. As you probably know, Boyle is a very common Irish name. I am still interested in pursuing this knowledge, but have just completed an extensive (300 pg.) family book on the Boyles in America. It is a huge family and I am taking a rest from research at this time. Any information you can share would be appreciated. I have passenger records etc. If you need specific information as to research resources I am willing to share.
