Social Security Death Index - Search Online The Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is a database of people whose deaths were reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA) beginning about 1962. A small number of deaths are listed before 1962. It was created from the Social Security Administration's Death Master File. You will not find everyone who died from 1962 to the present, but it does list many deaths in that time frame, especially in more recent years (particularly from the late 1980s to the present).

FamilySearch: US Migration Internal Value of Migration Research Mountains, forests, waterways, and the gaps between them channelled migration into predictable settlement patterns. Events like gold or land rushes, and Indian treaties also affected settlement. Understanding the transportation systems available to ancestors can help genealogists better guess their place of origin. Migration research may help you discover: a place of origin, previous hometown, or place where an ancestor settled biographical details such as what they experienced, or with whom they traveled on their journey clues for finding other records Types of U.S. Actual lists of travelers are unusual. Censuses, directories, land and property records, plat maps, tax records, and voting registers can sometimes be used to learn where new arrivals settled. Church records of some denominations may indicate a former residence of a family or a place to which they were moving. Migration Records for Selected States Bibliography Adams, James Truslow, editor-in-chief.

I searched and found no such post so hard to know what you are talking about. UELAC came about by Parliament so they do have some authority on things. Lord Dorchester authorized the use of UE: Realizing the importance of some type of recognition, on Nov 9, 1789, Lord Dorchester, the governor of Quebec and Governor General of British North America, declared "that it was his Wish to put the mark of Honour upon the Families who had adhered to the Unity of the Empire." UELAC prints this on the certificates it sends to those that have proven they descend from a Loyalist. I have not heard of them granting anyone use of U.E. Jill U.E. www.sybalsky.com/genealogy
