More help from the Florida Archives
This post on the Florida Memory blog discusses another way that the Florida Archives , which holds records of many state agencies, can provide bits of useful information about your Florida ancestors. In this case, the records are of student farmers in the 1920's who worked on agriculture and home economics projects in a Department of Public Instruction program.
State archives can be a treasure chest of information. Just enter "Connecticut archives" , for example, in Google or another search engine, and see what you find. State libraries are another potential source.
