Yes. I tried every email address I had for him, including Gmail. No response, and in a couple of cases it's been months...

Indeed.

The poster found it through a Genealogy web site.

> And what is SSDI? (Social Security Death Index???)

Something like that, I believe. The NYS Comptroller of the Currency also lists unclaimed funds for him from MetLife.

> I thought he was in America, so why would he die in Africa??

I have no idea. Neither does the poster who found the link. As far as I knew, he lived in the Bronx, a borough of New York City north of me. (I'm in Manhattan.)

Thank you.

So do I.
