Just a note....searching the soundex is faster than the actual census. Not
all FHC have soundex film but you can order a copy of your surname for about
$3.00. The neat thing about soundex is that you get all the important
information without having to search the actual census film.

It can be time consuming but I recommend this method to anyone who needs to
search the 1900, 10, or 20 census for their relatives.
