Hi Wetheringtons (and others), Most of you could probably find easy (& free) information regarding your recent (late 1800s) ancestors looking here: Social Security Death Index Search Results The most full-featured and up-to-date SSDI search engine on the internet http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/ http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi For example, just by entering only the last name, you will locate 543 different potential Wetherington relatives, see below for the first 10 brought up. You also access an automatic method to order the SS records themselves, which often reveal the names of the deceased's parents, dates, etc. Also, following up on Veteran's Day, you can order (mostly) the records of your veteran ancestors, as I just did, online at: http://www.archives.gov/ http://www.archives.gov/global_pages/submit_form.html http://www.archives.gov/global_pages/inquire_form.html http://www.archives.gov/global_pages/contact_us.html Barry Barry Wetherington 195 E 5th St #2703 St Paul MN 55101 651-485-4165 cel#1 (Verizon) 651-442- 4521 cel#2 (T-Mobile) 651-592-4705 cel bakup (Sprint) 661-452-2586 Fax cbarry@attbi.com cbarrywether@hotmail.com cbarry@lawyer.com FieldValueRecordsResults Last NameWETHERINGTON543543 Results 1 thru 10 of 543 Name Birth Death Last ResidenceLast BenefitSSNIssuedTools THOMAS WETHERINGTON 25 Nov 1888Oct 197504530 (Bath, Sagadahoc, ME)(none specified)004-12-3104MaineSS-5 Letter Add Post-em Search Ancestry.com NORMAN A WETHERINGTON 09 Apr 191626 Mar 199504355 (Readfield, Kennebec, ME)(none specified)006-16-3680MaineSS-5 Letter Add Post-em CLYDE WETHERINGTON 07 Jul 1923Sep 1976(not specified)(none specified)007-14-9256MaineSS-5 Letter Add Post-em KATHARINE WETHERINGTON 25 Nov 1918Jun 197633021 (Hollywood, Broward, FL)(none specified)023-14-3555MassachusettsSS-5 Letter Add Post-em MARY WETHERINGTON 09 Nov 191403 Sep 1999 (V)12866 (Saratoga Springs, Saratoga, NY)(none specified)063-26-1164New YorkSS-5 Letter Add Post-em MARIANNE WETHERINGTON 27 Apr 1926Oct 199431119 (Atlanta, Dekalb, GA)(none specified)093-20-0868New YorkSS-5 Letter Add Post-em LINDA WETHERINGTON 09 Feb 1946Dec 1970(not specified)(none specified)113-40-7284New YorkSS-5 Letter Add Post-em KATHARINE WETHERINGTON 05 May 1910Jul 198708094 (Williamstown, Gloucester, NJ)(none specified)139-16-1678New JerseySS-5 Letter Add Post-em A ANN WETHERINGTON 29 Jun 192416 Jun 2001 (V)33707 (Saint Petersburg, Pinellas, FL)(none specified)157-14-1554New JerseySS-5 Letter Add Post-em GLORIA A WETHERINGTON 20 Aug 193521 Sep 1989(not specified)(none specified)189-26-9927PennsylvaniaSS-5 Letter Add Post-em (V)=(Verified) Report verified with a family member or someone acting on behalf of a family member.
