Social Security Death Index; Social Security Applications & Claims Index; SSDI; SS-5

Today I’m updating a previous episode about the Social Security Death Index, a.k.a. as the SSDI, this valuable set of records. Also... a deeper dive into the Social Security Applications & Claims Index , what you get when you send off for the original Social Security Application (SS-5) and how you can expand your family tree as you do your genealogy research.

📃 There is a HANDOUT for INFO ACCESS level Channel Members. Channel Members can find the handouts in the Community Tab on the YouTube channel. Look for the words HANDOUT in the blog posts.
