Seems like I have looked everywhere for it or anything that is forwarded like 1890 or 1900 but can't seem to find it. >> Pama, You know that there was a fire in 1921 (in MD?--wherever the FEDERAL censuses are kept) that burned 99% of the 1890, and a smidgen of the 1920. NOTHING exists from the 1890 for MO. There are fragments. The largest fragment is Perry Co, AL, at about 3/4 of a roll of microfilm. For a complete listing as for what does or does not exist for the 1890, check out Emily Anne Croom's "The Genealogist's Companion & Sourcebook" Betterway Books, 1994, pp. 18-19. Jo would know better than I do, but I don't think that Christian Co, 1880 is online. Sincerely, Cheri Mello
