1910 Federal Census
 
The twelfth census of the United States took place on April 15, 1910. None of it has been lost or destroyed.

The 1910 census for some states has been indexed completely using a soundex system. A census soundex is a phonetic index in which last names are grouped by how they sound rather than how they have been spelled.

There is a soundex for the following states:
  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • California
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Illinois
  • Kansas
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Michigan
  • Mississippi
  • Missouri
  • North Carolina
  • Ohio
  • Oklahoma
  • Pennsylvania
  • South Carolina
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Virginia
  • West Virginia
The soundex coding system is easy to use:
1 = b, p, f, v
2 = c, s, k, g, j, q, x, z
3 = d, t
4 = l
5 = m, n
6 = r
Coding rules:
  • The letters a, e, i, o, u, y, w, and h are not coded.
  • The first letter of a surname is not coded.
  • Every soundex number must be a three digit code.
  • Double consonants should be treated as one letter.
  • Names with two consecutive consonants that share the same code number should be treated as one.
Instructions:
  1. Write down the surname to be coded.
  2. re-write the surname leaving out all vowels (except when the first letter of that surname is a vowel) and the letters h, w, and y.
  3. Write down the first letter and the next three consonants of the letters remaining.
  4. Write the first letter of the four remaining consonants, followed by the code number of the three letters remaining.
Examples:
Typical Coding
Stoltenberg
S-T-L-T-N-B-G
S-T-L-T
S-343
If less than three letters remain, enter the number "0" to make a three digit number after the initial letter.
Ott
O-T-T
O-300
When the first letter of the surname is a vowel, it becomes the soundex code:
Applebaum
A-P-P-L-B-M
A-P-L-B
A-141
Double consonants appearing together should be treated as one letter.
Lloyd
L-L-D
L-L-D
L-400
Satterfield
S-T-T-R-F-L-D
S-T-R-F
S-361
Names with two consecutive consonants that share the same code number should be treated as one letter:
Mickelson
M-C-K-L-S-N
M-CK-L-S
M-242
