Dec 14, 2019 at 20:18 comment added Jan Murphy I've removed the "Death and Wills" Ancestry category from your question. Citing a specific record set on Ancestry is enough for people to know what you're looking at -- it rarely matters how Ancestry categorizes or mis-categorizes a record.

edited to take out the Ancestry category for the SSACI, which is irrelevant for this question.

Sep 13, 2015 at 7:23 comment added Joe Jarrett Hi Jan, This is a copy of the info Ive got regarding that: casasengalicia.net/familia/tio%20salvador.jpeg Apologies for the quality. As you can see he also appears under 'Birth, Marriages & Deaths' for the same date. Which wouldnt make sense if its a Life Claim for disabilities or pension.
Sep 11, 2015 at 15:39 comment added Jan Murphy Joe, "All Wills, Probates, Land, Tax & Criminal Results" is a category, not a collection, What specific collection results are you getting? What records do you see?
Sep 11, 2015 at 11:07 comment added Joe Jarrett Hi, So my objective is to find where he died and where he was interred. Any information I get is a means to getting there and I was hoping the SSN might help. I have found that there was this Life Claim on 10/9/1954 and as you mentioned it should relate to pension or disabilities. But he appears with that date also in ancestry under 'All Wills, Probates, Land, Tax & Criminal Results'. There is no SSN given. Have you any recommendation on what my next step could be? Thanks

Sep 4, 2015 at 3:27 comment added Jan Murphy What information do you hope to get, by knowing his Social Security Number? While it has been used for other purposes other than benefits associated with the Social Security Administration, there's nothing else a member of the general public can do with it except requesting information from the SSA. Death Certificates and other records may have the SSN on the record for identification purposes, but no non-SSA database that I know of allows genealogists to look up the records by SSN.
Sep 3, 2015 at 23:15 comment added Joe Jarrett Thanks for clarifying the Life Claim. The only thing is he was 68 years at the time so probably he was a disability benefit. I had assumed that he died on that date. Cant seem to find where I saw it in Death and Wills but sure it was there.and will refind it. Do you know if using that Life Claim I could possibly get his Social Security Number.? I checked here but it looks like you need an address in the US.. secure.ssa.gov/apps9/eFOIA-FEWeb/internet/main.jsp
Sep 2, 2015 at 15:00 comment added Jan Murphy I don't understand what you meant by "and also come under Death and Wills" - can you clarify, please? This entry is for a Life Claim which is for disability or retirement benefits, so it has no evidence for his death date. See the information "About this Database": search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=60901
