Jean, it should have been in the header of the one I sent (as a "Cc: <bmurphree@mail.dos.state.fl.us>"). Don't know what happened--sorry! --Brian ***************************************************** Jean and Everyone, The State Archives, now that the 1935 census is on microfilm, will not search it--even with a street address. Sorry for the outdated information. I spoke with Mr. Boyd Murphree of the Archives staff this morning. One would have to hire a private researcher to search the film at the Archives, same as at the libraries that hold the films. He has a list of independent researchers available for hire which he'll send if you'll e-mail your snail address to him at the address in the header above. If someone has easy access to the LDS FHC catalog, would he or she verify whether the 1935 FL STATE census is also available at local LDS family history centers and post the information and film-number list-wide? (Thanks!) Oh, by the way--the 1935 census is on thirty rolls of 35mm microfilm. It can be purchased from the Archives at $20 per individual roll (which may be cheaper than hiring a researcher for a given county). Allow 2-4 weeks for duplication, but it's usually faster than that. Your local library or society can buy it for $604 total. The Putnam County Society and Library just shared the cost and bought it as a memorial to our society's recently deceased treasurer, but we have no one available to do searches in it. As to the relatively new index to the 1885 Florida STATE census (which was patterned after the 1880 US census), Mr. Murphree has that at the Archives and will copy the entries for a single surname for 25 cents per page. Query him by e-mail as above, and he'll check and tell you how much to send for the copies. Both of these state censuses are packed with lots of invaluable information--enjoy! Hope this helps! --Brian ************************************************************************ Jeaninfl61@aol.com wrote: > > Hi, I noticed you said the Fl.
