About me:
As the genealogy & local history librarian at Wareham (Mass)Free Library, I am always interested in finding family histories and photos from our area. Some early family names here are: Bates, Besse, Bourne, Burgess, Bumpus, Maxim, Fearing, Swift, Gibbs, and Savery.
The early 20th Century brought to our town, many ethnic groups seeking work in the cranberry industry. We are proud to share our history with families of Finnish, Cape Verdean and Italian descent.
We must all remember that photographs are more than just faces. They were taken to capture a moment in history.
