- Notes: Spencer was engaged to my grandmother Vera Saunders. He gave her a gold ring with 3 round diamonds. Vera was devastated when Spencer was killed on the Western Front. When Vera married my grandfather in 1924, Spencer’s ring was converted to a brooch which she wore. She continued to commemorate Spencer’s life and lay flowers in his memory. My grandfather had also been at the Western Front and his brother died there about the same time as Spencer and is buried at Villers Bretonneux. My sister Anne was at Villers Bretonneux recently for the centenary and lay roses at the graves of Spencer and our great uncle. When Anne revisited the graves 2 days later, one of the roses at Spencer’s grave was carefully placed in the soil and she wondered if one of Spencer’s family members had also visited the grave. As Anne was taking a photo of Spencer’s grave a young man stopped to look at the grave and his shadow appears across the headstone. I wore Vera’s diamond brooch on my wedding day and later had it converted back to Spencer’s ring which I have worn for nearly thirty years with my wedding and engagement rings. It is a constant reminder of Spencer’s ultimate sacrifice and Spencer lives on in our family’s memory.

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. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
