Program Description:
The U.S. Social Security system produced lesser-known record types key to tracing families during the late 1800s/early 1900s (during a period of intense immigration, before widespread birth records and during the 1890 census gap). See genealogical discoveries made using original Social Security applications, multiple Social Security indexes, and delayed birth records, which were often created for Social Security purposes.
