Novella; Michael Burke by Jon and Frank Dwyer

This book was an attempt to tell our family history and to give the reader insight into the character of our  Burke /Dwyer family and their lives in Tilting Harbour, Fogo Island Newfoundland.

My Mother Gladys, was the descendent of Thomas Burke who arrived there in the 1750's and they fished cod for 250 years alongside the descendents of Thomas Dwyer, my father's ancestor,
who arrived in the same era. They intermarried and thrived. The book was inspired by John Carrick Green of Tilting and a historian of note in Newfoundland. ENJOY   The book was published in Canada .
