Dear Chris:
Just a brief question here: "No universal identifying number in the US"? Doesn't everybody have a social security number given at birth or for people coming after birth to the US, when they pick up work?

Hans and Louk, thank you for your interest, and Louk for your generous offer. I may be in touch with you by email directly. Yes, this would be something in preparation for the next flood/other disaster.
