I see some problems in the "additional census information" list right off the bat. For example, Florida claims a 1790 census. I've never heard of this, and being a Spanish colony, there would not be one. What I recommend instead is the book GUIDE TO GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES. The Census section has a year-by-year and state-by-state description of censuses, even the non-federal ones.
