Alvina Hamel is on the SSDI. If you send for her SS5 form that should tell you her parents names. If you use the Rootsweb SSDI you can generate a letter to the SS Admin. requesting the form. http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Her death certificate might also have parents names & would be cheaper to get. The city clerk in Plattsburgh should have it. City Clerk 41 City Hall Place Plattsburgh, NY 12901 518-563-7702 I wasn`t able to find the Hainault family on the 1900 or 1910 census no matter what I tried. I even tried using just first names & birth year /-2 yrs. with no luck at all. Pat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
