Extracted Records - US Social Security Death Index SSDI
|
86 Million Death Records
Current to November 30, 2009
The Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is list of millions of deceased people
who also had a Social Security Number. The Index is limited to those whose
deaths were reported to the Social Security Administration. Although your relative
may be dead if no one reported their death to the Social Security Administration
their name will not appear in the
Index. Also individuals were not required to have a Social Security Number(SSN)
until the late 1970's or early 1980's. The Index mostly includes deaths since
1962 although there may be some as early as 1937. The majority of the birth
dates found in the SSDI are between the years 1900 to 1930. There are some birthdates
as early as 1856. Remember to
do a genealogy search using first name and last names only, no middle initial.
The middle initial was not indexed. When doing a genealogy search for a female
be sure to search using
her
married
name. For a more detailed description of the SSDI on the MyTrees.com home
page click the link 'Previous Newsletters". Then click 'Select Topic" Site FAQ's.

SSDI is at the bottom of the page.
