Jon -
Where did you apply for your SSN? Was it after 1972? Just trying to
figure out how you lived in Minnesota at the time, but the SSN was issued in
North Dakota. I guess if you went to a North Dakota office and applied,
that would be the number you were given.
When I got mine (about 1962), I went to the SS office in my town, filled
out a form and got my card right then! My best friend went with me and ours
are consecutive numbers.

Robert,
Here is a link that discusses the SSN system:
http://www.usrecordsearch.com/ssn.htm
Note that you can order a booklet from the SSA that gives more detail.
However, where a SSN was issued does not necessarily reveal where a
person was
born or lived. For example, I was born in North Dakota, live in
Minnesota and
my SSN was issued in ND! In other words, the SSN will only tell you
where
the card was issued, not where the person was born or lived.
Additionally, the "last residence" on the SSDI only reports the last
residence of the deceased, not where the person died. For example,
someone living
in Moorhead, Minnesota might have died across the river in Fargo, North
Dakota. So we must be careful in drawing conclusions from the SSDI.
