A great idea, Kate. Thank for putting the light bulb in our heads. Will do
that. Come ye all and let us get busy.
Sincerely,

Fellow listers,
Here’s an appeal to all of you to pull out the copies of the SSAN
application forms you already have filed away in your "stuff" and post
them
at Rootsweb.
I just did it for the ones I have and it’s really easy. :O)
1. Go to:
http://www.rootsweb.com/
2. Scroll down the home page to Social Security Death Index and click on
it.
3. Enter the name of the person who is on the form you have into the
search
engine.
4. When the right entry comes up, go over to the far right and click on
"Add
Post-Em" link.
5. The "Fill in the blank" form will come up and you can type in the
information just like it’s printed on the form you have in your hands!
6. Include all the information in the order that it is entered on the
form,
so that others have the advantage of all that information. NOTE: You
don’t
have to type in the SS Number for the person as the Rootsweb program
includes it.
Since the cost of these forms will be increasing substantially next week,
it
would be good if EVERYONE put out the information they already have.
Then
whoever else is searching for that same person won’t be required to pay
the
new price for the same form you have in your files. And vice-versa!
If we
all "plant seed," we’ll all get the crop! And thank Goodness for Rootsweb
providing this service to all of us for FREE!
Be well & God bless,
Kate Beaugrand Cook
