I found the following as a reply to an inquiry after a little searching. Les Tate ---------------- To obtain a copy of the original social security application of an ancestor, write: Freedom of Information Office, 4-H-8 Annex Bldg., 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore MD 21235 Request a copy of the SS-5 form. It includes great info like birthplace, mother's maiden name, etc. The person must be deceased and you should include the date of death to prove this. The cost is $7 with a social security number (from the soc. sec. death index) and $16 without. If you don't have the number, give as much info as you can to help narrow the search through similar names. Allow months for an answer. [Another reply to the original inquiry indicated that the wait time was about 6 months due to the backlog of requests.] ----------------------- Lloyd Neilsen wrote: > Help please. does anyone know if the cost for getting a copy of a social > security application if you do not know the number is still $16? any > idea of what the turn around time is? also can't find where I was to get > this info on the Net. does anyone have the url? thanks for any help you > can give me!! > > Lee in Eastern Utah > lloydi@ubtanet.com > > ==== TATE Mailing List ==== > Forgot how to "unsub"...simply send a message to: > TATE-L-request@rootsweb.com > In BODY section of message, type: unsubscribe > Be sure to disable any "signature" lines, etc. > Then, hit your SEND button.
