Soundex/Miracode
The 1910 Soundex and Miracode indexes were compiled in 1962 for 21 states by the staff of the Personal Census Search section of the Bureau of the Census. The Miracode indexes were done using computers, while the Soundex indexes were done on hand-entered index cards, similar to all of the other Soundex indexes.
Soundex States
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana (except Shreveport and New Orleans), Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Miracode States
Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana (Shreveport and New Orleans only), Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
The phonetic coding method for the Miracode index is identical to the Soundex coding system. The two differ only in the citation given for a household being indexed. For each of the Miracode printouts, the citation includes the Volume number, Enumeration District Number, and Visitation Number (house number) taken from the original census schedules pages; while the 1910 Soundex cards cite the Volume Number, Enumeration District Number and Sheet Number.
