Hi Can anyone help me. I have found a connection on family search that is listed under the US section, but they show a social security number. Can anyone tell me where I go from here as this means nothing to me and gives me no information at all, apart from the date of death. Thanks Catherine

Catharine, The Social Security Death Index usuallys shows where the number was issued, the dates of birth and death, and sometimes the county or ZIP code they were in. Crista

Thanks Crista, but still only tells me the state the number was issued, date of birth and death and the fact that they died in Europe. I want to know if this guy had kids and their names. How do I find this out. Is there a site whereby you can put in a ss No and get more details. Thanks Catherine

Catharine, www.searchsystems.net has a listing of states. The available vital records for each state vary. Was this the site you were using? http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb(.)com Crista

If you do a search in Ancestrycom and follow the links it will give you the application form as well. I applied for my Aunt's SSDI this way. PS Why won't it let me put in a web link?
