The 1910 Miracode Census IndexThe 1910 Miracode Census Index�
The 1910 Soundex-coded census is in a different format from the 1880 and 1900 censuses. Computer-entered cards are shown in the microfilm, rather than handwritten ones as in other years. An advantage is that the computer type is unambiguous as compared to the hundreds of different styles of handwriting in the Soundex. A disadvantage is that it shows less information than the soundex cards. In any case, the advantages of any index weigh most favorably in research since they lead to entries in the census.

Here is an example of a 1910 Soundex card. The volume, enumeration district and sheet--or page--in the census are the "address" within the census proper. On this card, the soundex for any spelling of Van Wert would be V563. This number would be written in the box indicated. | |

Mircode indexes also have enumeration numbers which lead from the index to the family's entry in the census. The enumeration number is divided into three sections: the volume, enumeration district and the visitation number.

Here is a Miracode Index entry for the same kinds of information but arranged in a different format: | |

The visitation number is in the third column from the left in the census. Here is where you would find it on the census page: | |
