Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Just checked this page out. It has some really good stuff, and you can
access other states from there.
Thanks Stephanie,
Tom

This posting has a pretty good explanation of the Soundex coding method. It
might be useful.

>The Soundex Index System
>Page 124
>
>An index and filing system called the Soundex is the key to finding the
>names of individuals among the millions listed in the 1880, 1900, 1910,
>and 1920 federal censuses. The Soundex indexes include heads of
>households and persons of different surnames in each household.
>
>The Soundex indexes are coded surname (last name) indexes based on the
>progression of consonants rather than the spelling of the surname. This
>coding system was developed and implemented by the WPA in the 1930s for
>the Social Security Administration in response to that agency's need to
>identify individuals who would be eligible to apply for old-age
>benefits. Because early birth records are unavailable in a number of
>states, the 1880 census manuscripts became the most dependable means of
>verifying dates of birth for people who would qualify-those born in the
>1870s. Widespread misspelling caused so many problems in matching names,
>however, that the Soundex system was adopted. Because locating eligible
>Social Security beneficiaries was the sole reason for creating the 1880
>Soundex, only households with children ten years of age or under were
>included in that index. All households were included in the Soundex
>indexes for the 1900, 1910, and 1920 censuses.
>
>How the Soundex Works
>Soundex index entries are arranged on cards, first in Soundex code order
>and then alphabetically by first name of the head of household. For each
>person in the house, the Soundex card should show name, race, month and
>year of birth, age, citizenship status, place of residence by state and
>county, civil division, and, where appropriate for urban dwellers, the
>city name, house number, and street name. The cards also list the volume
>number, enumeration district number, and page and line numbers of the
>original schedules from which the information was taken.
>
>Coding A Surname
>To search for a name it is necessary to first determine its Soundex
>code. Every Soundex code consists of a letter and three numbers; for
>example, S655. The letter is always the first letter of the surname. The
>numbers are assigned according to the Soundex coding guide below.
>
>Code key letters and equivalents:
>
>1
>B,P,F,V
>
>2
>C,S,K,G,J,Q,X,Z
>
>3
>D,T
>
>4
>L
>
>5
>M,N
>
>6
>R
>
>The letters A, E, I, O, U, W, Y, and H are disregarded. Consonants in
>each surname which sound alike have the same code.
>
>Use of Zero in Coding Surnames
>A surname that yields no code numbers, such as Lee, is L000; one
>yielding only one code number, such as Kuhne, takes two zeros and is
>coded as K500; and one yielding two code numbers takes just one zero;
>thus, Ebell is coded as E140. No more than three digits are ever used,
>so Ebelson would be coded as E142, not E1425.
>
>Names With Prefixes
>Because the Soundex does not treat prefixes consistently, surnames
>beginning with, for example, Van, Vander, Von, De, Di, or Le may be
>listed with or without the prefix, making it necessary to search for
>both possibilities. Search for the surname vanDevanter, for example,
>with and without the "van-" prefix. Mc- and Mac- are not considered
>prefixes.
>Names With Adjacent Letters Having the Same Equivalent Number
>
>When two key letters or equivalents appear together or one key letter
>immediately follows or precedes an equivalent, the two are coded as one
>letter with a single number. (Surnames may have different letters that
>are adjacent and have the same number equivalent.) Pfeiffer, for
>example, is coded P160. Because the P and the F are both coded as 1,
>only one (P) is used. The letters e and i separate the coded Pf from the
>second and third appearance of the letter f, so one of these is coded.
>The double f's again require that only one be considered in the code.
>The letter r is represented by 6, and in the absence of additional
>consonants, the code is rounded off with a zero. Other examples of
>double-letter names are Lennon (L550), Kelly (K400), Buerck (B620),
>Lloyd (L300), Schaefer (S160), Szucs (S200), and Orricks (O620).
>Occasionally the indexers themselves made mistakes in coding names, so
>it may be useful to look for a name in another code.
>
>Different Names Within A Single Code
>With this indexing formula, many different surnames may be included
>within the same Soundex code. For example, the similar-sounding surnames
>Scherman, Schurman, Sherman, Shireman, and Shurman are indexed together
>as S655 and will appear in the same group with other surnames, such as
>Sauerman or Sermon. Names that do not sound alike may also be included
>within a single code: Sinclair, Singler, Snegolski, Snuckel, Sanislo,
>San Miguel, Sungaila, and Szmegalski are all coded as S524.
>
>Alphabetical Arrangement of First or Given Names Within the Code
>As described above, multiple surnames appear within most Soundex codes.
>Within each Soundex code, the individual and family cards are arranged
>alphabetically by given name. Marked divider cards separate most Soundex
>codes.
>
>Mixed Codes
>Divider cards show most code numbers, but not all. For instance, one
>divider may be numbered 350 and the next one 400. Between the two
>divided cards there may be names coded 353, 350, 360, 365, and 355, but
>instead of being in numerical order they are interfiled alphabetically
>by given name.

Subject: GET LEGAL CASH IN MAIL W/ ONLY $5.00
READ THIS YOU WON'T BE SORRY, I WASN'T
This will be the quickest way to get cash in the mail.If you follow these
instructions carefully, you will be able to receive within two months
nearly $50,000.00. The great part is is that $5.00 isn't really a whole
lot and it could just be worth a try. I am currently 6 months pregnant and
my husband and I are in debt. We both have really good professions but he
has massive student loans and credit card bills (I was lucky and my father
helped me through college). Needless to say, since we are married to one
another I acquired his debt also. In any case, I followed these easy steps
thinking that I really had nothing to lose and guess what? The first week I
started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would
end soon. The money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about
$20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total
of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third
week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth
week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming
in .......
You send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the
article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the
list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There
are thousands) and that is all.
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why
it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so
you can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is
very simple and consists of 3 easy steps:
Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and
a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it
out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed
that it is indeed legal!
Seriously, your story will sound like this one if you participate by doing
the following:
STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write your address on each
piece of paper along with "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so th
e bill will
not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper
in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 5 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a $1.00
bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS PERFECTLY
LEGAL!
Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 Corey McNear
233 Olive st.
West Reading, PA 19611
#2 R. M.
66 Navesink Drive
Monmouth Beach, NJ 07750
#3 Sam
27248 Grano Avenue
Saugus, CA 91350
#4 Pat anderson
41 pilote
st-ambroise Pq
#5 Nick Austin
12318 Dollar Lk dr
Fenton, MI 48430-9734
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 5 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!
Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the
following:
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which
is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a
message box.
2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
something to catch the eye!!!
3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember
to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up)
6
4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU
SAVE IT. (so you don't have toype this 200 times :-)
5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)
6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the
'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on
attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once
on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. If you did this right
, you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be
shaded.
NOW POST AWAY!
FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time
to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.
Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the
article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and
re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
**If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply
use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able
to find it.**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST
MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part:
This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside
down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to
it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those
below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and only 5 replies each, I
will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5
replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 letters
with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
made me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00!
AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is
probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses
per person. Here is what you will make:
at #5 $15.00
at #4 $225.00
at #3 $3,375.00
at #2 $50,625.00
at #1 $759,375.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again.
The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST
LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on and on and on.... get
the picture? Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people on the world and
most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet.
So there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work
the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for
YOU!
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one
sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have
to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also.
Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an
eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly.
Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the
basic idea to make the money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive
people by posting the messages with y name in the list and not
sending the money to the rest of the people already onhe list, you
will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that
and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks!
Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and
in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This ishe fairest and most honest way
I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing
anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail
lists for future dollars.
Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
