Personal Notes:

Townsville Daily Bulletin 8 Feb 1939 "WEDDINGS. STEEN— HALL. A very pretty wedding took place at 3 p.m. at St. James' Cathedral on Monday, 30th January, officiated by Canon Cue, when Joyce, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Hall, Gordon Street, Bowen, was joined in the bonds of holy matrimony to Robert M. Steen, youngest son ot Mr. and Mrs. F. Steen. Powell Street, Bowen. In the absence of her father the bride entered the church on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. Phil West. She was daintly frovked in a gown of white Swiss patterned organdi featuring an uplift bodloe, the puffed sleeves finished with a point on the hand with buttons from elbow to wrist A spray of the lilies of valley was worn on the corsage; the panel skirt moulded to the hips, flared gracefully to the hemline, and finished with a train. The tulle veil worn halo effect threaded with orange blossom was kindly lent by Mrs. H. Carvolth, a friend of the bride. Her bouquet was composed of gerberas, stephanotis and maiden hair fern, tied with ribbon. A satin horseshoe was presented to the bride on entering the church. She was attended by a close friend, Miss Edith Pope, who chose shell pink broderle anglaise organdi featuring an uplift bodice with a spray of pink daisies on the corsage. The bouffante skirt was finished with a sash of pink mariette. A large pink crinoline hat and a bouquet of pink gerberas and roses completed her ensemble. The bridegroom was attended by his cousin, Mr. J. Reid. Tbe guests entertained at the reception were received by Mrs F. Steen and Mrs. R. Hall (who acted as hostess in the absence of the bride's mother). The beautiful 3-tlered wed ding cake (the work of Mrs. W. Ryan, Merinda) held pride of place at the table. The happy couple received many telegrams of congratulations Only close relatives attended the reception."

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
