Actually, the social security numbers of anyone who received a benefit, or of
anyone whose child received a benefit, is available online. It is available
on the SSDI (Social Security Death Index). You can find that database on at
least two websites online. If you have a subscription to
Ancestry.com, it is
there. If you do not, it is also available on
RootsWeb.com. You just need the
name of your ancestor, and it helps to know his death date and/or the
location where he may have died. If you know his birth date or at least birth year
that can help, too. Occasionally, knowing all of these things can make a
search fail because you know more than the database! If you have too many
duplicates when looking for your ancestor by his name only, add death date or
location. Too many still, add the birth date or location. If you put in all four and
get nothing, experiment and take some out and leave other things in until
you've hit all possibilities.
Remember, though, your ancestor won't be in there if he or she never
used his or her benefits -- even though he or she may have had a social
security number.
Good luck! (Let me know if this works!)
Karen
