Personal Notes:

Arrived in the district in 1850. For a number of years he was one of the sturdy teamsters engaged in carrying from Sydney to Tumut.

A few years later he selected the farm at Bombowlee, part of which is known as Linbeck’s Hill. He was an Alderman from 1888 to 1896. He died at the age of 85 on 20 July 1915.

MR. T. LINDBECK. This great old veteran, whose his story dates back to about the same period, as that of Mrs. Murphy, passed away, at his old home at Mundongo, on Wednesday morning last, his age being 85 years. His wife predeceased him by about 20 years. Deceased was one of the best known identities in the district, and when enjoying proper health and strength he took a very prominent part in public matters, having been elected an alderman of the second Coun cil appointed — the town was incor porated in 1887, and in 1890 Mr. Lindbeck became one of the alder men, his position on the poll mak ing it necessary for him to retire at end of the term, in 1893. He was re-elected, however and served on the Council until 1896 when the ballot went against his further elec tion. He was possessed of good common sense, and his options al ways gained respect in all public movements with which he became associated. In the matter of poli tics, he was a most ardent worker, and showed great, earnestness in the cause he espoused. Notwithstanding his advanced age, and the fact that he has been the victim of several epileptic fits of late years, he came regularly to town up to within the last few days, and was well possessed of his faculties. Being a shrewd and careful manager, he amassed a fair amount of wealth, and owned the fine property where he ended his career, having lived there for about half a century. We extend sincerest sympathy, on behalf of our readers, to the rela tives of the two old and respec ted residents whose demise is here recorded.

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.
