Actually, what Ancestry.com has done is construct a kind of "substitute" for the 1890 census by using city directories, phone books, and other name-specific sources for the states counties and cities , and they keep adding to it. It's going to be invaluable to have all the "name lists" in one place on Ancestry, and they've done a wonderful job so far. Also, don't forget that the 1890 VETERAN'S Census was not destroyed, so if you have someone who fought in the Civil War, and who may have still been living (or whose widow might still have been living) in 1890, you might check there as well. It even gives, if applicable, any wounds suffered in the war, and the unit they fought in. So, even though the general 1890 census is gone, many organizations are doing their best to fill in the gaps. Don't forget to check county websites as well for birth, marriage, city directories, etc. for the period. These resources vary widely from county to county, but it's worth a shot! And t! hank, you, Milly, for offering to use your resources on Ancestry to do lookups!
