According to my information, the 1910 Soundex was only done for seven
states, all in the South. Miracode indexes (similar to Soundex, but a
little harder to use from my experience) were done for 14 more states,
including Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The remaining 29
states, including Maryland, and the District of Columbia, have not been
indexed, unless it has been done very recently.
According to Emily Croom's "The Genealogist's Companion &
Sourcebook," there
is a 1910 cross index, referencing street addresses to Enumeration Districts
for some large cities. Baltimore is the only Maryland city apparently
included. If you know the address (or even the street) a person lived on,
you can identify the enumeration district and save yourself a lot of time.
It is on National Archives Microfilm # M1283, which is probably available at
the Family History Centers.
If you don't know a person's address, you can usually find it in the
Baltimore City Directories, which are a great source of information that is
often overlooked. I know they have them on microfilm at the main libraries
in Baltimore and Towson, the Library of Congress, and probably Family
History Centers and some other libraries as well.

Ancestry.com uses a miracode index for 1910. Kind of hard to find
people
sometimes.
