Happy Easter everyone! One of our coordinators emailed me yesterday about
an email she received from Rootsweb/Ancestry. Wesley Exon is a content
marketing manager for RW and is trying to reach coordinators who have their
sites on RW. The Social Security database link has changed and he wants yo
to be aware of it! If you get an email from him, please answer! For the
rest of the coordinators (no matter where your site is), if you have a link
on your site to the SSI Database, please make sure the link is correct. The
new link is: http://search.ancestry.com/
Thanks,

Just got this after posting the above!
FYI: RW's (Ancestry.com's) Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is no
longer free. It was moved over to their subscriber's side many
months ago. I believe they sited privacy concerns, if you can
believe that. I changed my link to the SSDI at FamilySearch.org (
https://familysearch.org/
that I miss is being able to search by exact birth or death dates;
with FamilySearch's SSDI database you can only specify by year or a
range of years. There are a few other free SSDI databases out there,
but I found this one to be the most reliable and easy to use.
