Early Florida attracted many settlers from the Anglo colonies and states, as well as others from Corsica, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and Syria. Unlike U.S. censuses of this period, Spanish censuses identify every member of the household, free or slave, with ages and occupations. Types of homes and farmholdings patterns appear in some years; and, in all years, married females are identified by their maiden names.
201 pp., 1992. Hardback, $27.
A complete transcription of the little-known and hard-to-access supplemental “social” schedules created by federal census takers in 1880.

In 1970, the late genealogist and historian Glenn R. Conrad published two immensely valuable volumes of colonial Louisiana censuses, military records, and ship rolls. According to the custom of the times, he did not index his work. This supplemental volume fills that need.
