Hi, If you, like me, are a new researcher, you will be interested in using the Social Security Death Index to aid in finding birth and death dates. Go to www.ancestry.com/ssdi/advanced.htm. Directions are easy. I started out by finding only one match for my Oswald Cuthbert and my Roberta Grosmaire. However, the 100 matches for my Lena Payne were not too difficult to look through. I probably filled in 20 dates that I had blank. Good luck. Ida
