SEARCHING....Updated-5/14

[eltacka]

 I am searching for relatives that I have never met from my fathers side of my family.
My father was born William Gene Ballman but later changed his name to William Eugene Ballman because everyone use to call him Billy Gene and he did not like it.
He was born December 5th 1934 and died on November 22 1980.
His mothers name was Lonnetta (Cooper) Santa and his fathers name was William Frances Ballman, whom had a brother named Jack Ballman.
My dad had a sister named Vickie Brewer whom has 2 children, Scott and Lindsey Brewer. 
They come from the Dayton Ohio Montgomery county area as far as I know.
I am trying to find an old photo album my mom had of his side of the family so I will have more info to share.
I do have his social security number but have had no luck finding any info at all, unless I wanna pay for it and I am out of ideas.
I would like to try to find out where he was laid to rest and start from there.
Social Security wouldn't give me hardly any information so I am asking my friends on my websites for help.
If you recognise any of the info I have put up please reply to this post and also if you know of any other places that might be able to help me just leave me a comment.
If your wondering why all the sudden I decided to find out about my father, well I have always wanted to find him all my life, my sister and I use to call all the Ballman's in the phone book whoms names matched with the one's in the photo album but they all said "No Relation" and now because of social security saying I owe them money I have his social security number and I feel it is imperative for me to learn about his family and ailments that run in their family because of my aneurysms. I feel the need to find out if it is genetically linked to me and if there is a possibility of my children or grandchildren contracting the same ailment that has debilitated me.

Thank You
Peggy
PS
