Personal Notes:
>Walter Hoad (born 1856) Walter Hoad, the third son of George Hoad, married Olieve Brownlie in 1880. Olieve’s father constructed the Telegraph
Line from Adelong Crossing (now Tumblong) to Tumut and on to Kiandra in 18908. Walter Hoad (like his father) was a stonemason and worked on
the construction of the Catholic Church at Tumut prior to 1878. Walter and Olieve reared a family
of ten;
- Leo James Alexander Hoad born 1881, (married Alice Hewitt),
- Olieve Hoad born 1884 (married John Leonard),
- Muriel Hoad born 1884 (married John A. Brown),
- Gertrude Hoad born 1885 (married George Day),
- Eva Hoad (married Joseph Taylor).
- Sylvia H.M. Hoad born 1892 (marmed F. Barnett, then later A. Power),
- Walter Hoad Jnr. born 1895 (married (Ella Mason, then later S. Monk),
- Gladys Hoad (married Roland Slade),
- Edna Hoad born 1888 (married Roy Cohen),
- Ruth Hoad born 1900 (did not marry).
In 1891 Walter Hoad worked at Yarrangobilly Caves. From 1904 to 1919 he was caretaker when he directed and supervised the development of the caves area. When he retired his son Leo became manager and caretaker from 1919 to 1954,

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.
