in the early day of assigning the SSN - the first three digits were assigned as a regional identifier. Later as people became more mobile, that idea was abondoned and numbers were issued sequentialy from a new starting point on a national basis. You may be surprised to know that it is entierly possible that many number are not unique due to overlaps of numbers issued under the original system.

there are SSN searches available, ancestry.com i believe is one site that has the limks.
