Many FHCs welcome having other's serve. Maybe you should speak to the FHC director and express your desire to serve, they may change their mind.Renee Zamorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874175462287024500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689232453246489556.post-9745237126438944012010-07-27T18:29:29.821-07:002010-07-27T18:29:29.821-07:00Leah, I am so impressed by all the research you ha...Leah, I am so impressed by all the research you have been able to do this summer.

It is one they really need to change too because they keep cutting back their hours due to a lack of volunteers. I think the reasoning behind that policy is that they need an LDS member there to help other LDS members with the LDS aspects of genealogy (baptisms, sealing, etc.).<br /><br />Claudia - I know they made an application because they either turn up in the SSDI or a SSN is listed on their death certificate. I also have an ancestor who had a SSN but does not turn up in the SSDI. In her case, I'll send in my request along with a copy of her death certificate to show proof of death.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918752742296339994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689232453246489556.post-42214830734123092072010-07-27T12:21:58.734-07:002010-07-27T12:21:58.734-07:00How do you know if they had made application for S...How do you know if they had made application for Social Security? My great grandparents died in the 1930's and I did not find them on the death index. Actually, my grandmothers did collect Social Security and I did not find them either.<br /><br />ClaudiaClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689232453246489556.post-26252371660212908042010-07-27T09:30:43.937-07:002010-07-27T09:30:43.937-07:00Leah,

Things may have changed, and your FHC may be different than the one I used to frequent, but, I am not Mormon but, was a volunteer at one of the FHC's in Michigan for a number of years. In fact, about half (give or take) of the volunteers at that FHC were NOT members.<br /><br />Course, like I said, that may have changed, or may have just been that center.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.com
