I see dead people... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Not really, but...

This site is interesting. You can look up the birth and death dates of people. It goes back to the 1800s for the dates of birth.

To narrow your search, hit Advanced Search and put the deceased's State in, or City, if you know it. Just using a last name works too.

I found my grandmother's information. She died in 1934, when my father was 11. I found a few people there from my past.

that's the only genealogy site i've seen that has records for my mom's side. very interesting indeed.

That's, indeed, a great genealogical website! I just wish it let me search for other countries, too. I want to do some genealogical research on my Mexican maternal side. Not very much ancestry knowledge from my mom's side, but I can always start with surnames.

That's strange Cathy. Everyone I looked for was there. You definitely have his correct place of death (the state)?

Not everything is listed, depends on the records that have been databased. The SSI Death Index usually has most people, but not all.

Yep. Died here in town in 1965.

Mr. Television · 02-23-2006, 01:30 AM

I just put my Mom's name in there and she's listed.

I found all my Grandparents in there too.

What do they mean by Last Benefit? Where they're buried?

Ohhhh...okay. Could be why my grandfather isn't in there...he wasn't old enough to receive SS checks.

So weird. It says the issuing state for my other grandfather is Missouri. He lived in Iowa since 1955.

I believe also list anyone with a social security number, even if they didn't get benefits
