The links to the Florida Census records are premature and you will get an error message if you try them. Set your browser address to http://Pilot.FamilySearch.org to see the collections that are there.

Actually the links work just fine.

Give it a try.

In October 2008 the 1945 link worked fine for me too, but then you need much patience to see the results!
