Dawn, the closest National Archives to you is in Atlanta. If you need specific info, go to http://www.nara.gov/regional/atlanta.html for hours of operation, phone number, and address. Your Fla state archives may also have census records of the other states. We have all states census records in Raleigh, NC, for example. If you want to find out more about NARA research, you may want to look for that topic on Cyndi's list or on www.rootsweb.com for general info on what to expect. I've never been to an Archives branch, so I have no first-hand experience to share.
