Greeks in the Rhode Island State Census - Years 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935

Image
Rhode Island began taking its own census every ten years beginning in 1865. The 1895 state census is missing. The census was compiled to obtain a count of the population of the state to determine how many representatives the state would send to Congress. The information is generally reliable. However use the information with some caution, since the information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified. Population schedules are handwritten on printed cards.  There are different cards for males and females. This census covers 90 to 95 percent of the individuals within the counties enumerated. FamilySearch.org makes copies of these census records available for FREE.  See below for links to the collections by year. Year 1905  - 245 people born in Greece Year 1915 - 1,104 people born in Greece Year 1925 - 1,176 people born in Greece Year 1935 - 967...
