Block Island 2007 Census
My Rathbone family was one of the original families to settle Block Island. Apparently there is now a tradition to take a census on groundhog's day to count everyone who is wintering on the island, year-round residents and visitors included. This year's census count was down 15 from last year's count. (Hat tip to Genealogue)
