Following the money isn't just for crimes — it solves genealogical research questions, too! The U.S. Social Security Claims and Applications Collection contains names of applicants, birth dates and places, and names of parents that include the mother's maiden name. Need information? Find it here!

Very helpful. I have seen them as clues but didn't know they had so much information. I will be taking a look at these files in the very near future.
Easy to listen to and understand, plus a good handout.
The fact that MyHeritage puts so many different records together I did not realize. Makes researching so much easier.
Very good & helpful presentations! Thank you, Sharon & Marion!
Learned a lot about how to find items in the card collection. Looking forward to spending some time in the US SS Application and Claims files
Really good
