The Social Security Death Index is a free service The Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is a database of people whose deaths were reported to the Social Security Administration beginning about 1962. A small number of deaths are listed before 1962. It was created from the Social Security Administration's Death Master File.

You will not find everyone who died from 1962 to the present, but it does list many deaths in that time frame, especially in more recent years (particularly from the late 1980s to the present). It is close to being a national death index for the United States. You can access the data base from many sites such as WorldVitalRecords.com, Ancestry.com, or Rootweb.com Sources: Links above .

Obituary Finder Here's a link to the Social Security database from The Clarion-Ledger's website. I put in Robert Smith as a generic search. I didn't know another way to get the link up so I could copy it for you.

legacy.com/clarionledger/Obituaries.asp?... There are several search options, past 3 days, past month, past 6 moths, past year, then decades. I don't know if it'll work for you if you're not signed into The Clarion Ledger. It's free, so if you're really interested, you can sign up at clarionledger.com.

I like the Social Security Death Index on "rootsweb" Try this: ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/" rel="nofollow">ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Rootsweb hosts a free search of the "Social Security Death Index", which they update frequently. It contains records of everyone with a social security number that has died since social security numbers were first issues. You can search by name, by location, or year in the Advanced search.

Fantastic resource. Sources: http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/" rel="nofollow">ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ .

In a nutshell, NO This is similar to the question asked earlier about marriage certificates. Death registration is a local function, usually handled on the county or city level. Some states require that the death be registered on a state level, but very few.

The IRS knows that you have died -- the next of kin generally has to file a death form along with the previous year's taxes. The Social Security people know of your death, but both Social Security and the IRS find out a long time later -- months, not days or weeks. About the only thing you can do is to consult the obits column of the local paper and see if the person is listed; but even then, if the person was obscure and didn't have any friends, or there is no local paper, or the family didn't put in an announcement, then you will have no evidence of the person's demise.(Note: if the person was a religious person, the local religious paper might have the obituary - for instance, there used to be a Cincinnatti Catholic weekly newspaper that listed deaths.

Sad to say, most people die in obscurity, and once dead, they stay that way.

Social Security Death Index is one place You can check that out, or you can do what I've done and just enter the person's name in a search engine. If there was a published obit in an online newspaper, it should come up.

" "The most famous person you ever met is.......?" "How can you apply Six Sigma to a software development project?" "Looking for the Name of Famous Person" "Can someone give me roadmap to learning . Net development? " "Why are there so many environments in software development?" "Is there a standard sequence of testing steps in software development?

" "What should my title be, CIO or Director of Software Development? I am worried about liability and such." "Who's the most famous person in the entire world?

Can someone give me roadmap to learning . Net development?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
