I just wonder why this hasn’t already been blown wide open? And if what someone else stated in this thread is true - that they do not re-issue old SSN then why is OB using a number that was issued back in 1890 to another person?

Well, this 1890 dude would be 120 now, wouldn't he? And we'd have heard of him simply because of his advanced age? Right??

As genealogists know, SSNs of deceased individuals are public records. So, it should be simple to identify the five-score and twenty-year-old. Just look him up in the SSDI! Just a click, a few keystrokes, and you've got the goods on Zero. No need for serious advocacy, policy wonking, public persuasion ...

I looked up that supposed SSN#, turns out it was issued on the very day of the roswell crash, and yes, the very same day Al Gore was born, the pieces are coming together now ...
