When that doesn't work, we begin the search again, in the records of the immigrant's children, siblings, even neighbors. You never know what record might finally hold that clue -- the baptismal record of his youngest child, the obituary of his half-sister, the passenger manifest of a second cousin... SSA Removing Names from Public Death Master File (SSDI) Another fairly quiet change made by the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) last month will greatly impact the amount of information publicly available in the SSA's Death Master File, including the removal of over 4 million names, and the exclusion of about 1 million names per year going forward. Steps for Tracing Immigrant Origins Once you've traced your family tree back to the immigrant ancestor, determining his/her birthplace is the key to the next branch in your family tree.
