Hi Cheryl, I just read this e-mail. I could not find several of my family in the SSDI. I had thier SS numbers from death certificates, funeral records, and Medical records. I copied and pasted a form letter from Ancestery.com and erased the person's name and info on the form and filled in my family members name and info and mailed it to myself. Then I printed it out and mailed it to the SS Dept along with my $7.00 check. I have never failed to get a copy of thier SS Aplication. Not all are on the SSDI, but they are in the SS records. Hope this helps you, Carole ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 6:46 AM Subject: Re: Garrett Vaught > Hi, > I will ask my mother Troyce ALLEN b.
