1890 Floyd County, Virginia Census
Transcribed & Annotated by BarbR

Floyd County, Virginia, is nearly unique in that the 1890 Census record for the county is one of the very few surviving census records for that year for the entire country.  Almost all the census for the rest of the country, for that year, was destroyed by fire in 1921 (either in the fire itself or later).  There are several books in the Library of Virginia (the state library) in Richmond listing this census for Floyd County, Virginia. (although the National Archives website does not list Floyd County or Virginia as being a surviving record)
