Gretchen,

I just sent off another reply to this thread. It looks like perhaps Genealogy Bank was in the midst of changes when I tried there yesterday. Yesterday I was just informed of “No Results” while today I was prompted to register so I could see the results for free.

It seems that SS numbers for the past 10 years were removed. I do not see that as a huge problem. While I have recorded them in my database it isn’t something that I normally use for research purposes.

ANSWER TO BELOW:

I checked Genealogy Bank for the surname "FLYNN" (a very common name) deceased 2011 and there over 500 listings of Flynn's dying in 2011 so apparently it is up-to-date on it's listings because there were December 2011 deaths under the Flynn surname.

As someone said earlier.....there doesn't seem to be any Social Security Numbers listed on their SSDI list anymore.

I would say that not having a listing from 2003 that is in the Ancestry
database means that Genealogy Bank is NOT at all a current database.
