I am sure that most genealogy researchers are familiar with the numerous internet sites for accessing the Social Security Death Index. Just came across a new free one that I think is the best. Go to: www.genealogybank.com and click on "Free Social Security Death Index" on lower right side of page. When a name comes up that you are interested in, clicking on the name brings up the detailed page. In addition to the date of birth and date of death you will get the day of the week for each event. Also shown is estimated date at death in years, months and days. This index is unique with weekly updates, easy-to-use format and comprehensive coverage. Try it, you will like it.

Yes, Bill, this a good site. I like their obituaries also. I have found many for my family. I wish they would go back further than 1977, however. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
