Hello - you can look him up in the SS death index and print off a letter from there - this would probably a good avenue to take since he filled it out nd then compare with death cert as someone else would have filled it out. good hunting marge ----- Original Message ----- From: southpaw Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 11:48 PM To: WASPOKAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WASPOKANE] Desperate A search of the SS Death Index turns up a Joseph Peabody, born 2/26/1901 d. January 1981 in Spokane, with a SS card issued in Minnesota. This gives you some possibilities for finding further information. You can send for a copy of this individual's application for Social Security. Most of the time it is completed by the individual in their own handwriting. It provides the name of the parents. The cost is $26. Knowing when he died you could order a death certificate from the state of Washington. Or you might try requesting an obit lookup. The local paper is usually on microfilm at the local library. Good luck on getting your documentation.

Peabody, born Feb. 23, 1901 in MN and died in Spokane, WA. He is my first cousin and last person to verify to hold that side of the family together so I can upload to the archives. Is there someone who can verify his parents and wife (Mary Seidl) son, Donald through a death cert? ANY help on this person very appreciated.Thank you for any help. >Sallie > > >==== WASPOKAN Mailing List ==== >Spokane County Message Boards >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.washington.counties.spokane&maxrows=25&dir=next > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > >==== WASPOKAN Mailing List ==== >Spokane County Message Boards >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.washington.counties.spokane&maxrows=25&dir=next > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > > > ==== WASPOKAN Mailing List ==== Spokane County Message Boards http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.washington.counties.spokane&maxrows=25&dir=next ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
