Marcia: Someone probably gave you the address already, but, if not, here it is: http://www.tip.washington.edu/forms.soundex.formCGI.fcgi Here you type in the name you want to soundex, you can put in multiple names, and then hit the convert button, another screen comes up with the codes. This is the most simple way to soundex names. If you have any problems, let me know and I will help you. Have a good day. -- Joanne Moore Researching: Eickert/Eickest, Franz, Gienau, Hausch, Kestner, Kusher, Rieve, Waltens, and Urban, all from Brooklyn and Queens, New York Eickert/Eickest, Rieve, Gienau Hausch, and Kusher, are also from Germany or Austria.
