Bemister Reunion in Newfoundland
In exactly one year from this week, family will gather in Carbonear as the Bemisters of Carbonear hold a reunion in the community that connects all descendants of the two pioneer brothers (William Willis Bemister and his younger brother Edward) who moved there in the early 1800's.
The Steering Committee have been working on plans which are well underway, and will be distributed within weeks.
We will also post updated plans on this Bemister Blog so stay tuned for more news.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Carbonear in August 2010.
Sincerely
Cameron Hopkins
