 Most
of us have at least one ancestor for whom we have only sketchy information as to
where they were from or where they went. The US Census is so valuable to us as
researchers, but often we are only left with the name of the state where our
ancestor was born. It is wonderful when we can find them on an additional census
and learn where they were living during the given year of the
enumeration. Hopefully we can provide some helpful links here, to aid in your
search for your elusive ancestors.
If you know the city, but don't know the county, search the
Cities
Within Counties at Florida Department of State.
If you are looking for some place name in the State of
Florida, try searching out
old maps. There are many resources online now.
Some links will be provided
here on this site. If you have found them on a census, try looking for a map
that was created around that same time.
If it is an elusive place name, but you know the county, try contacting the
local Historical Society in that county. They often have a great deal of
knowledge about the area. Or check with the local library in that county.
Florida has several defunct counties. Mosquito County was in the area around
present day Orlando, Florida. Benton County was part of the present day Hernando
and Pasco Counties. Fayette County was part of present day Calhoun and Jackson
Counties. Miami-Dade was originally Dade and encompassed Palm Beach and
Broward Counties.
If you have additional
material that you believe should be displayed here, please contact the
state or assistant state coordinator and let us know your thoughts.
