    3. Marcia, I found the soundex codes in my PAF manual. to quote: "The first letter of the name is not changed, the rest of the code is numberic. the letters a,e,i,o, h,w,y are not coded. codes: 1 - b,f,p,v 2 - c,g,j,k,q,s,x,z 3 - d, t 4 - L 5 - m,n 6 - r double letters are coded as one. If the name doesn't have enough letters to make 3 digits following the initial letter, zeros will be added (Kelly = K400). When 3 digits are reached, no further letters are coded. " So we can determine soundex codes for any name in existence, I would think.
