Tip of the Week

Social Security Records are a great source of information about your ancestor!

In order to enroll in the Social Security program, the applicant had to complete a form known as the SS-5, Application for Social Security Number, which requested a good amount of family information.

Obtaining a copy of the SS-5, Application for Social Security Number, for your ancestor can turn up a genealogical gold mine!
