Bob and I postponed our "Mural Trip" until Monday so I am
preparing his front yard for planting grass next Spring. I also
picked a bucket of grapes and one more bucket to go before we
go elsewhere to pick grapes. It's surprising the lack of people
looking at this site when I emailed 270 on Monday that it was

Thanks for all those who researched this for me. Notice the
problem of not using the latest message to post your results.
If you don't use the latest message we lose records.
Linnea, This SSDI contains the names of those who received the
$155.00 death benefit from Social Security. If the person did
not have a Social Security Number (and some wives do not because
they never worked outside of their home) then they did not
receive the money and are not listed her.
I'm sure the Eddie Thomas work, but I am not sure if he ever had
a social security card so he may not be listed here, but I'm
curious and thank for your help.
Note: Start a list of long lost Friend SSAN and look the numbers
up periodically to see the status on long lost relatives and
friends...Matt Post latest records below please.
Subject: The Search for Edward Thomas - another Chore
My High School Classmate Eddie Thomas died in a tragidy on Mon,
20 Dec 1954. I assume he was born in 1937. I tried to look him
up in the SSDI on http://www.ancestry.com and there are 1256
Edward Thomas listedthere.
So I would like some help and you may learn something. I may
learn something also. I'm not sure that the names are listed
the same way every time you open this file, but I will assume
so. So I have assigned you all ten pages to review if you will.
So find your pages and if you find an Edward Thomas with a
birthday in 1937 and a died date of 20 Dec 1954 please email me
his SSN listed.
Please let me know when you have completed your search.
Thanks...Matt

When I was in South Dakota I was emailing by bcc to 120 people
and received answer backs by less than ten. Since I started this
new web site I decided to notify everyone for whom I had an email
address for so did that yesterday. The count was 270, but some
of those were duplicate mailings. But they all have the web site
if they only know what to do with it. Some don't care, some are
not interested, but some would like to know, but don't know how
to go about it. This web site:
http://www.geocities.com/mattbazaar
will be there for all to use until one of two things happen.
I become incopacitated or die. Then it will disappear from the
web unless someone else activates it before four months passed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It looks like Brother Bob and I may drive to Topponish, WA, to
see the murals all over town and then on to Nephew Dean's. The
next day to Vancouver Island in Canada and then return here to
Grand Coulee, so I don't know my computer opportunities so may
not be able to access the internet for a period of time.

email and chat rooms at that time, but both of them were using

2:45 and it is now 3:30. I was surprised to see that six people
have looked at this website. I just see the count, but have no
idea who they are or when they looked at the site.
The whole purposed for this site is to let anyone who wants to
see this site by going to their public library. For the 101
in the Pachosa Family all,except 14, have access to email, or
to someone who has email in the same town.
So this site if for those 14 so all they have to do is go to
the local library three times a week and read this site. Will
anyone do it...ha, ha, ha...of course not, but it is there for
those who have the courage.
