Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 29 Mar 1949
OBITUARY MR. THOMAS K. BEAVER The death at the Canberra Hospital on March 9 of Mr. Thomas K. Beaver removed an employee of the Department of the Interior. He had served the Department for more than 30 years, and was at the time of his retirement supervisor of the field employees of the Lands, Agricultural and Stock section of the Department. He was born at Goulburn near where the present Cathedral now stands, and, after the death of his parents at an early age, went to live at Yabtree Station, near Gundagai. When the first mail service was introduced from Humula on the present Wagga-Tumbarumba line, to outback stations and wayside postofflces, he ran the mail on horse back. Leaving Yabtree, he went to live at Adelong, where he married Alice Cupitt, daughter of one of Adelong's first farmers, who had taken up land in that district about 1860. Following the occupation of a carpenter, he built many buildings around Adelong and Tumut, and constructed barges; one of these was still working recently on the alluvial flats at Grahamstown. He also worked in the Gibraltar Mines, and for a number of years he was constructional officer in the N.S.W. railways. Being a prominent member of the M.U.I.O.O.F., he was presented with a sash before leaving Adelong. This sash draped the coffin. After a short service at St. John s Church of England, Canberra, by the Rev. G. F. Pyke, the remains were interred in the Canberra cemetery. Four of his grandsons, Messrs. K. and D. Beaver and M. and N. Short acted as pallbearers. Besides his widow, he leaves four children, Ernest (Queanbeyan), Jinnie (Mrs. W. Blair, of Kew, Vic), Olive (Mrs. F. Short, of Wentworthville) and Thomas (Canberra).

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.
