Ancestry.com passed along in their daily newsletter that the SSN rates were increasing. I went to the site and the new fees become effective July 1st. Does anyone know if this is based on the postmark date, when they receive it, or when they actually start the research? Below is a link to the site. http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm Regards, Pat Muniz Researching AMOS, ANGEL, BRADSHAW, BRYANT, HOWARD, SNYDER, UTTERBACK/OTTERBACH
