 Using Social Security Records to Break Down Brick Walls |

In this presentation we will cover a brief history of Social Security Benefits, the anatomy of the SSN, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, what is the Death Master File (DMF) and Social Security Death Index (SSDI) and how to interpret Social Security records found on Ancestry and FamilySearch. |
