The Rorke Family fonds, ca.1880 - 1970, includes 330 images of the Rorke, Bemister and Forward families of Carbonear. The Bemister and Forward families were connected to the Rorkes by marriage ties.
These images paint a picture of life in Carbonear, Newfoundland from the 1880's to 1970's.
Locating the first pictures I have ever seen of William Willis Bemister and his son Capt. Willis Bemister (who were both ancestors of mine) was a real thrill.
