Write down your sources of information. Who/what told you? This is documentation. From this, you will be able to find the source again, if you - or anyone else - need to do so.

Soundex is a system of coding names for the census based on sound rather than alphabetical spelling. A variation called American Soundex was used in the 1930s for a retrospective analysis of the US censuses from 1890 through 1920. To save time, a free Soundex converter is available at rootsweb.ancestry.com.
