Looking up dead people

[susandennis]

albadger had a think in his journal this morning about a data base to look and see if someone's dead.  He was kind enough to share the URL http://stevemorse.org/ssdi/ssdi.html.  And I was on hold waiting for a conference call.

My ex husband is, apparently, not dead yet - he'll be 80 in March. 

My Mom who has not been heard from since March of 2005 is also, apparently, not dead yet.

Daddy made the cut. He's dead.

My friend, John, has a name that is way too common and I'm too lazy to dig out his social security number.

I need to think of more people who I really am curious about.
