Kathy, I know my paternal grandmother and her mother both applied, so it's not like women couldn't apply. I also know my folks got SSN's for me and my sister in the early 60's... before "everyone" got one in order to work. What I remember (a vague childhood memory?) was that my brother was "supposed to" get one, while Dad just went ahead and got ours, too (ie, not "required" for girls) -- however, that could just be a reflection of the times... who was supposed to get a job and who wasn't...? --Paula

I know they would have had to have died after 1936. I'm not sure if women registered or not or if everyone registered or if it was just a random thing for registration. I don't want to pay $29 just to find out the person never applied for social security or registered with the system. They're not always on the SSDI because if the family didn't apply for death benefits, they wouldn't be on there. Anyone have a good way to create such a list to consider? I tried but it was too general - too big. I have the deluxe version. Feel free to reply privately if you have any attachments to share that couldn't be sent thru the list. Thanks!!
