Cousins, You may have already seen this post, but just in case... Joyce Zachman Now you can access the most recent version of the SSDI at Rootsweb <http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi>. Accessible fields include first and last names, date of birth, month and year of death, last residence, last benefit, Social Security Number, and the state where it was issued. You can narrow a search to a particular state, country, city or zip code, or to a particular date of birth or death, by using the Advanced Search Feature. When you find a record of interest, you can automatically generate a printer ready letter to the Social Security Administration requesting a photocopy of the actual application for a Social Security Number (Form SS-5-Social Security Number Record Third Party Request for Photocopy). This new database, which is running on two new high-performance servers, is another example of your contributions at work. The more that you contribute, the more free genealogical data Rootsweb can make available to the Internet community of genealogists.
