Known Issues
Question: I am trying to search for an ancestor in the S 435 Master T. - S 530 James Gene Part 1-4 Waypoints. The records do not seem to have an order. Can you explain this? Answer: The records in this waypoint seem to have been filmed out of order. S 435 Master T. - S 530 James Gene&gt; Part 1 begins in Soundex order then at image 119 we find S-530-James Gene who should be the last record in part 4. At this point the S-530 records begin to be inserted into the waypoint at approximately every other record with the Soundex numbers and related given names going in reverse order. The 400s Soundex numbers are getting larger and the 500 Soundex numbers are getting smaller. This process continues through parts 1-4 of S 435 Master T. - S 530 James Gene. At the end of part 4, we end up with S-416 and S-416. In other words the records meet in the middle with S-516, Sara and S-516, Sandor
