Kate, Do you know if Mr. Lybrand was still living in DC in 1962 when he last corresponded with Washington & Lee? If he was not listed in SSDI and was still living in DC most likely he was a US Gov't employee and therefore did not have social security. If you know for sure he was still in DC then you might try for his death certificate. If he was living in Virginia or Maryland - hopefully that last correspondence would indicate an address - then try for death certificate in whichever state he had lived in. Also, check with DC Library for a listing in the city directory. Library of Congress has telephone books that go back to - well way back LOL Hope this gives you some ideas. My God provides my every need according to His riches in glory. Amen ____________________________________________________________________________________ Choose the right car based on your needs.

Hiya Mary- That's a good question, and I do believe he worked for the government, so that would explain why I can't find him on the SSDI. I will ask if he wrote from DC or VA, and see if I can get that resolved. :) The directories are a good idea too. I haven't been working on this part of the family for long, so I have to investigate the possibilities that exist in DC. Thank you for the ideas. :) Kate Emaress Nova <emaress_nova@yahoo.com> wrote: Kate, Do you know if Mr. Lybrand was still living in DC in 1962 when he last corresponded with Washington & Lee?
