Wouldn't it be great to have a full free-access database where nobody has to pay a high price to find out where their grandfather/grandmother lived and worked in 1936? Submit yours today, and keep our hobby affordable for everyone!

SS-5 Forms can contain a wealth of information of your ancestor when they filled out their application for a social security card.  These applications begin in 1936 when the program was started.  They can contain addresses, relatives' names, employers' names, age, place of birth, and much more.
