Hello, I hope I haven't caused confusion regarding my request: Does Arkansas Have a 1866 census. I am aware that the census was conducted every 10 years, but, according to the book, Discovering Your African-American Ancestors, by Franklin Carter Smith and Emily Anne Croom, under the chapter 'Location, Location, Location', pg. 126, Strategy 4 states: In most former slave states, a post-Civil War census was conducted in 1866. This census was authroized and, in many instances, conducted by federal agents. Most of these census did not survive'. So, I was wondering if the State of Arkansas had access to this special census, and if it does, did any survive and for what counties? -Dena Jordan
