I have scanned the Soundex sheet from the NARA and it is attached to this
E-Mail as a text document.

=09GUIDE.FOR SOUNDEX CODES

=09CODE #=09REPRESENTS THE LETTERS

=091=09B, P, F, V
=092=09C, S, K, G, Q, X, Z, J
=093=09D, 'II
=094=09L
=095=09M, N
=096=09R

Each code begins with the first letter of the Surname.

Disregard the letters: A, E, I, 0 U, W, Y, H

Code the first 3 consonants (do not include the first letter of the surname)=
.
Start coding with the first consonant after the first vowel in the surname E=
XA~iPLE: Schwarts =3D S632

Double consonants (or two consecutive consonants with
the same code number) are coded as one letter.
EXAMPLE:=09Sussmann =3D s255

Each code must have three numbers. If the surname
does not have enough consonants to code the three numbers,
add one or two zeros. EXAMPLE: Haskell =3D H240
