Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 7 Aug 1945
OBITUARY MR. MAC. LUFF Gundagai and district people were grieved and shocked to learn on Wednesday morning last, of the sudden death of Mr. Mac. Luff, of Gobarralong. The deceased was in Gundagai staying with his sister, Mrs. M. E. Owen, so as to be near his wife, who is a patient in the Gundagai District Hospital. On Tuesday he was apparently in good health and retired for the night in good spirits. Early next morning, hearing noises coming from his bedroom, Mrs. Owen rushed in to find her brother breathing his last. A jovial and extremely popular man was the deceased. He had a cheery smile for every one and had he not the time for a yarn his hand would always go out in friendly greeting. A native of the district, the deceased had spent his whole life following pastoral pursuits, owning a valuable Gobarralong property. He will be greatly missed at that centre, where he was in everything and supported all things sponsored by the villagers. Besides his widow he leaves a family of four, Nellie (Mrs. Fred. Rumble, Muttama), Joan (Mrs. Stan. Williams, Sydney), Miss Una Luff (Gobarralong) and Mr. Keith Luff (Gobarralong). The surviving members of the Luff family are Mrs. M. E. Owen (Gundagai), Mrs. Jim Carberry (Nangus), Mrs. Ed. Carberry (Sydney), Messrs. Bill, Tom and Bert Luff, all of Gobarralong.

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.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
