Soundex for V-563

Soundex is a code which solves the research problems which stem from spelling variations for a surname. For example, here are some of the variations of Van Wert found listed here:

Van Waard	Van Weart	Van Wert	Van Woerdt
Van Ward	Van Werdt	Van Wirt	Van Wort
Van Wart	Van Weerdt	Van Woerden	Von Wart
Van Waert	Van Weert	Van Woert	Von Wert

Rather than looking through a resource for each of the above spellings, the Soundex system groups them all together phonetically, as a aid to research, under the designation of V-563. In genealogy, these codes are most commonly used in searching census reports for a particular surname.
