According to the SS website it contains the following: *The numident record is a computer extract of information from the original application for a Social Security card. Many records of older individuals, primarily those born in 1910 or earlier, are abbreviated records that do not contain the names of the individual's parents and may not contain the place of birth. http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim55fl@aol.com To: VAROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2003 11:03 PM Subject: [VAROOTS] Question about SSDI Forms requests Please, can someone help me ? If I send for a SS-5 form of a relative I know what info it contains and it costs $27. If I send for the abbreviated NUMIDENT printout it costs $16. What info does this document have? Name of parents? Place of birth?
