If you think these are the correct people, then I suggest you go to the SSDI search site
that I mentioned, and click the SS-5 link for each of them, print out the letter, and mail
the letters and a check to the SSA. You will get a copy of their original SSN
applications!
While at the SSDI site, you might want to also click the Post-Em link, and leave a message
for your cousin-researchers.

From there on back, you will want to find them in the 1930 census,
then the 1920, 1910, and so forth. If you begin with the known (yourself, and your own
immediate family) and work back to the unknown, you will have success. Keep track of what
you try and where, so you don't have to back-track later. I wish you success in your
search.
