What is your age?

As a minor dependent of your father you may be entitled to Social Security benefits as a dependent survivor.

As a minor dependent of a disabled veteran you may be entitled to survivor benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

If you father was a disabled veteran he must have been in the military. If he was retired from the military you may be entitled to dependent survivor benefits from the military.

You may file claims with each of these agencies to determine whether or not you are eligible. Or, if you are too young, you may have a "guardian ad litem" file the claims on your behalf.
You do not need the permission of your step mother to file these claims on your own behalf. These are benefits that you, yourself, may be legally entitled to.

Good luck.

Question Death Certificates from Vital Records in New York City?

December 11th, 2009 6 comments

I want to order the death ceriticates of 7 of my 8 great-grandparents. I already know where one was born, so I don’t need that one. I pretty much know where all of them died. That’s not what I’m looking for. What I’m looking for is if that record says where they were born too, and if possible, who there parents were. It costs $15. I’ll probably order one and see what it says, and than do the rest, but it takes like 6-8 weeks in between. Based on personal experience though, has it said place of birth on it?

I agree with Wendy.
Order the death certificates.

Knowing whether or not your ancestors died from a disease/health condition that may affect your health is worth the price of the certificate.

I have the death certificates of my paternal grandparents, maternal grandmother, my dad, 2 older brothers and a sister, as well as my 2nd step-mother-from Hell, all from Florida.
All show their birth dates and places, dates, times and places of death, their occupation, place of residence, the name and address of the funeral home, date of burial, names and places of the cemetery(s) and parents names.

If a death certificate gives you just one new piece of information, it’s worth more than $15.00.

Even the smallest clue can become the biggest clue.
