I have run into a couple hits that seem to fit. My greater concern: Let's say I order all the SS applications. How can I confirm or deny any info, as children would not be listed, and I have no clue whom Gordon parent's were. I almost need either a marriage certificate, obituary (which may not necessarily list children) or perhaps a military record. thank you again for your help. Any suggestions?
