Database of names has been updated as of October 2009. 10,381 names to browse through.  Although the bare information is complete so far as I have it, the pages still need to have personal comments and pictures added. I hope to get this done in the next little while.

Hello and welcome to the Parish of North Lake, New Brunswick, the biggest little parish in York County. Thank ya all for coming by. Cool

Click on surnames in the menu to access over 10,000 names in the database, many with added information such as obit, memories, pictures, scrapbook mementoes, etc. As usual, there are a number of individuals names marked private in accordance with their desire to remain anonymous.

Occasionally, I get a question from someone such as: I never heard of North Lake. So why is my name (or my family's) included here?

Names are included here based on two criteria: either they (or their family several generations back) lived in North Lake; or there is a link to me. Probably more like an invisible thread, than a link. For example, my uncle married a Foster. Her sister married a Gorman. The Gorman children married....get the picture? So, if we go back to 1783 when my ggggggrandparents came to NB and their children married and expanded across the country, some 8 or 9 generations later, the people never heard of me - their cousin - or North Lake. Probably New Brunswick doesn't ring a bell either.

Rest assured, if your name appears on this site, it is because of one of the reasons just mentioned.

These memories are a provincial treasure, a rich tapestry of humanity and part of the shared legacy of Western New Brunswick's participation in the rum running trade of the Prohibition years.

The Volstead Act, was introduced in 1920 prohibiting the populace of the United States from making, selling, distributing or imbibing in any form of alcohol between the years 1920 and 1933.
