Give all information that you have when ordering. Everyone don't always know each item asked. I've filled in what I know then added information somewhere in the blank spaces, such as race, as close to the year as possible(they search within 5-10year spanns), possible last names of a relative who may have given the information. Sometimes I get the correct application. The other alternative is if they received any SSI benefits, I order the ORIGINAL Application, will cost you $29 without an SSI number. This has a lot of information that the applicants gave and sometimes it's in their own handwriting. FHL has a search engine that may have your name of interest with an SSI number.
