I would like to thank the person who alerted us to the 1867 Santa Rosa census. I did not know that Florida conducted a census that year. I checked out the census and found on the list fewer of my relatives than I expected. I have had the same experience with the 1866 Alabama census, so I wasn't surprised. I don't know whether the census takers were just incompetent or lazy or if the people were in no mood to be cooperative. I did note that the total figures compiled in the 1867 census for Santa Rosa were 2,111 whites and 505 blacks. The 1860 Federal census for Santa Rosa showed 4,037 whites and 1,121 blacks. (I have reason to believe that the 1860 count left out some parts of the county, and that the county population in 1860 was probably somewhat higher than the figure given.) Even taking into account Civil War deaths and some dislocations, it looks to me like about half of the population in Santa Rosa County wasn't counted in the 1867 census. Duke Vickrey
