Enter any name to get the soundex code for that name.

Soundex is useful when you are looking for a name that might be misspelled. The system was developed by the US Census as a way to index names. It works well with English names and other languages that assign similar sounds to the standard English alphabet.

Soundex won't make a connection between names that sound alike but use a different first letter like Cisco and Sisco. It makes connections between names that are not even close like Smith and Smathersonian.

For those and other reasons, FamilyTrackers allows you to search for multiple spellings of both surnames and given names to give you maximum control over your search criteria regardless of the language you use.
