For those who are researching by Social Security numbers, on the numbering
system, this was found at www.ssa.gov:
"The nine-digit Social Security number is divided into three parts.
The first three digits indicate the state shown in the mailing address on
the original application. The lowest Social Security numbers were assigned
to the New England states, and the numbers grew progressively higher in the
South and West. However, in recent years, this geographical relationship has
been disrupted somewhat by the need to allocate numbers out of sequence as
state populations change.
The middle two digits of a Social Security number have no special
significance,
but merely serve to break the numbers into blocks of convenient size.
The last four digits represent a straight numerical progression of assigned
numbers."
