Rod,
I am the Great Great Granddaughter of Georgia Rourke...I would be interested in trading any documentation...
I have a few pictures, including a lovely picture of Georgia (My Grandfather and Grandmother always said I looked a
lot like my great grandmother, I recently found a picture of her and it was quite a good resemblance...my husband couldn't believe it)
If you are interested in trading some photos I would love to add them to my collection.
Take care,
Christine
