Ms Lydon, "I would just say she is a great aunt of your family. I can't imagine that they check." Sometimes they do. It all depends on the rules for privacy in each state. In Illinois you have to claim direct relationship to the deceased. I believe in California it's the same and in California I had to have copies of my grandmother's DC to get her mother's DC, plus my father's DC. At least they accepted xerox copies.
