Hi Kathy, Here's the Social Security number for your Joseph BROWN. Social Security Number: 099-07-3814 Name: Joseph Brown State of Issue: New York Date of Birth: Monday March 19, 1900 Date of Death: February 1966 Est. Age at Death: 65 years, 10 months Last known residence: City: Breezy Point; Far Rockaway; Rockaway Point State: New York ZIP Code: 11697 With this number, you can order the long version of his original application on the SS-5 form for $29.00. Just include the Ancestry.com SSDI print out and add the SS number to the form. Since his death was more than fifty years ago, you may be able to get his death certificate from the NYC DOH. A local library may have a copy of his obituary. If you provide the family religion, folks may suggest potential cemeteries.
