Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you go to Rootsweb.com, enter his name in the fields on the left hand side of the page; that's the free service.

In addition to using "Willie" for his first name, you might want to also use his full first name, e.g. William, Wilfred, or whatever "Willie" is short for.

However you enter his first name, check out the "Worldconnect" hits. Those are family trees submitted by other folks researching the name.

Good luck!

Found this at Rootsweb for "Willie Sims". It's from the Social Security Death Index:

Name Birth Death Where SSN issued
WILLIE SIMS 27 May 1927Apr 1966South Carolina

Note that residence at death was NOT specified, only where the card was issued. This was the only match I got for a death date of 1966. Is it a hit?
