Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 27 Nov 1928
EDWARDS— McCORMICK At a Nuptial Mass, at St. Patrick's Church, Gundagai, last Wednesday, Elsie Ellen, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin McCormick, of Bulga Hut, was married to Thomas George Edwards, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Edwards, Tumut, and grandson of the late Mr. Thos. Searle, of Stoney Creek, South Gundagai. The bride, who was given away by her brotherin-law, Mr. Eccleston, wore white georgette, with silver lame overdress, wreath and veil, and carried a sheaf bouquet of Christmas lilies (the gift of Miss Masters, of Tumut). Miss Mary Searle, carrying a handsome bouquet of sweet peas, and wearing a pretty crepe-de-chene of blue tint, with champagne lace, was bridesmaid. Her bouquet was of sweet peas. Mr. Jack M'Cormick, the bride's brother, was groomsman. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Fr. Treacy. The wedding breakfast was held at the residence of Mr. Eccleston, the bride's brother-in-law. The happy couple motored away for the honeymoon, and will make Tumut their future home.

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.
