Michael Samuel Rourke was one of 11 children born of John Rourke and Ann Eveleigh in Rawdon, Quebec, Canada. John arrived in Quebec in 1826 from a port in Dublin, Ireland. Four of his boys left Quebec and settled in Ontario, Canada in the Amabel Township. Michael travelled by wagon from Rawdon to Park Head where he built a saw mill. He and his wife Emily Amey had 16 children, 3 died very young. This family tree site will honor their memories and their hard work that brought all of us decendants into being. I will try to add to this web-site as time allows, hope to post pictures and links to help bring all Rourke relations together. Thank-you very much for visting, hope you enjoy the site!
