For several years now we have been cautioning researchers about how/when to order the Social Security SS5 Form. We used to be able to order the form for $27 knowing the SS number and $29 without the number. Several years ago (I think after 911 especially) the SS Dept. would send you the info but they would have the parent's names blacked out and sometimes even the birthdate of the person. It looks like in 2015 the SS Dept. made a change and said that if the person you are asking for is 120 years or more old that you CAN get the info that is on the original form, OR, if the parent's are over 100 but then most of the time that's the info we want and may not be able to give! So, look into it once again, you can do it online or by mail. to to the link I presented and read the article from the Legal Genealogist and it gives you the snailmail addy. You can go to Socialsecurity.gov and find the request form online and do it that way also. Good luck!
