There were 62,979,766 people enumerated in the 1890 census and the records of only 6,160 survived. Consider yourself lucky :) For more info on the 1890 census see... 1890 Census Substitutes http://www.genealogybranches.com/1890census.html The Fate of the 1890 Population Census http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1996/spring/1890-census-1.html Good luck with your search.
