Re: finding 400,000 older persons

Anyone filing for social security in 1942 would have to have been born in 1887 or before.  When my father, born in 1911, tried to get his for a passport in 1967, he was required to get evidence of at least one person who knew him from birth or early infancy.  Did 400,000 seniors find persons elder than they to attest to their Arkansas birth in 1942/43?

Apparently the requirement was only that the person had to be older. When my grandmother filed for a delayed birth certificate in Illinois, her sister, two years older, was the person who swore to her birth date.
