As to using photo corners for mounting small documents

Mary replied to my posting as follows:
This system DOES NOT rely on the uniqueness of the Social Security
Number. There is no connection between the filing system and SSNs.
SSNs are merely a part of this system, not the basis of the system.
OK, Mary thanks for clarifying. Sorry I got things

La Nell gave him a nice explanation of the SSN system,
but I think she missed the point. I think the point of the
question was that SSNs can only be used on Americans

Mary,
If you file all items together, what happens when a branch needs to be
copied for another researcher? My cousins are interested in 1/8 or
less of
my total collection. Scanned images out-grew a single CD-Recordable back

Note that you can order a booklet from the SSA that gives more detail.
However, where a SSN was issued does not necessarily reveal where a

I see many cases where people use the last residence as the death

The SSN has three parts: (1) area number, (2) group number and (3)
chronological number, i.e., the last four are issued in numeric order.
It is possible that two men named John Jackson could have obtained an SSN
from the same area and group, but because the last four digits are

a person.
