» Tina_Coruth - Great information!

Hi Mark,
Thanks for all the great information! That soundex system is wonderful, isn't it?!?! I'd be lost without it. I had no idea that it had uses other than genealogical, such as for driver's licenses in Michigan. Very interesting.

Some researchers live and die on the census records. I've found it of limited value, but then I have excellent location information on the majority of my ancestors. Its biggest value is verification of locations, which will be the topic of my next article, "Location, Location, Location!"
