Don't feel silly for asking!

There is only a limited number of 1890 census records for any state because the records burned in a fire in the 1920's. (1921 I think.) There is a very small amount of information for Alabama that survived--Perry County only. I am not sure if all of Perry County is there or not.

If you have access to Ancestry.com they have an index called "1890 Pensioners Index; Alabama Early Census, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.". I have never had any luck with it myself, but it may have something that would help you.

I feel silly for asking this, but why isn't there a 1890 Alabama census?
