Dear gang:    You won't believe what happened to me!  I found a ton of people that are related to my GUICE line that are from MS and LA.  I live in LA and decided to get more current information, as this side I had not done alot of investigation on as a relative had information from 1718- 1850's but nothing recent in LA.  I go to the library and pull the soundex microfiche for 1920 LA census.  Guess what!  NO GUICES?  WHAT???  So I pull the 1910...the same thing.  I pull 1900.....there they are...about 50 of them...so what happened in 1910 and 1920?  Here is what happened...they changed the soundex number! If you read how to figure out your soundex number you don't count the vowels ....so my letters are G and C and (both being the number 2) and add a "0" at the end to make the 3 numbers.  Well, in 1910 and 1920 they used 2 for the "G" and zeroes for the first two vowels.  That is how I found them.      So folks, if your family name has a couple of vowels together and you aren't finding them with the soundex # you are used to ......try it the other way.  God, I love playing detective!!!!  LOL Lisa
