If you are researching using censuses from 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 you will need the Soundex code for your surnames since these censuses do not have indexes like the earlier censuses.

This page is to help you get those codes before you get to the microfilm readers in case a Soundex cross-reference is not available at the readers.
