Social Security Applications = Birth Record & Parents' Names. Ordering a copy of your ancestor's original Social Security Application (Form SS-5) can reveal crucial details like parents' full names, mother's maiden name, exact birthdate and birthplace, and even their signature!

In this 21-page tutorial, you’ll learn how to search Social Security databases (SSDI and SS Application & Claims Index) and request official copies directly from the Social Security Administration (SSA). I'll walk you through everything step-by-step.

📌 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• How to search Social Security Indexes on Ancestry, FamilySearch, and the National Archives

• The difference between an SS-5 copy and a Numident printout

• Current SSA request fees ($27 for SS-5 / $26 for Numident) and FOIA rules
