Hi! The Social Security Death Index through Jan 1999 can now be searched at Rootsweb! You can also add a pointer to the on-line records for other researchers to find you! See the following anouncement in the latest issue of "Rootsweb Review": POST-EMs. Now you can attach a message to any of the more than 61 million records in the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) at RootsWeb by using a "post-em," developed by RootsWeb's own Randy Winch. Some suggested uses: attach notes to the records of your relatives, providing researchers with a direct link to you; add background information on an individual in the database, such as pointers to other records relating to that individual; or add a correction to an incorrect record. Check the records of individuals of interest to you often. Someone recently might have left a note there for you. To add a note to a record, do a search and click on "Post-em" at the end of a record at: <http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi>. Post-ems are a another example of your contributions at work. Have fun! -Linnea
