This was just sent to me by a fellow and he tells me that the site
will take you WEEKS, it has all kinds of connections way back to the first white
man in this country...and WRITTEN RECORDS that still haven't been put into
English yet! Its better than the Mormon Churches Records, and has all tribes
from back then. These people kept records on American Indians back to the
Mayflower........ The Moravian Church Genealogy site: http://www.enter.net/~smschlack.

Social Security Administration
Baltimore, MD 21235-0001
If you DON'T have a Social Security number, you can call the Social Security
Administration at 1-800-772-1213. If you are a
child of a person that you are searching for, or a blood relative, tell them
that according to the Freedom of Information Act you are entitled
to this information and they should give it to you. This phone number is
also very helpful for you if you have a social security number and have found a
listing in the SSDI but it doesn't list a city or state where the death
occurred. They can sometimes tell you where the person died and then you
will be able to get a copy of the obituary.
