Pence" <richardpence@pipeline.com> Hello guys, The Truth is: Everybody IS listed in / on the soundex cards, Only the 1880 Soundex had children less than 10 years old listed, ALL Others have EVERY Body, It matters Not what the last name is, Every Family Group had a Card made for them, EACH person in the group was on that card, IF there was a different Surname a separate card was made, WHICH Says Enumerated with XXX name, and shows where to find it by Volume number, etc Trust me Guys, I have looked at 1000`s of them cards You see I live 20 minutes from the Archives, Phil "Phil Stevens" <joephil@nwlink.com>
