Personal Notes:
Alice was born in England and arrived in Australia with her parents in 1884 at the age of seven months. The family lived at Tivoli, Ipswich, Queensland, then on the Biarra property that they selected in 1887. Alice was enrolled at Biarra School in June 1888 at the age of five and left in Septemher1895.

In 1906 Alice married Herbert Walter Himstedt at the home ofher parents at Biarra. Herbert was a wheelwright employed by Jim Andersen, Blacksmith and Wheelwright at Esk. They lived in Esk until 1911, then briefly at Moore, then Yarraman where Walter worked with his brother-in-law, Joe Berry, a builder. At the request of Walter's former employer at Esk, they returned there in 1913, and about 1916 Walter became a partner in the business with his employer's son, Willie Andersen, where Walter worked until his death.

In 1915 they bought a home in Esk in which they reared their three children. The house was on several acres of land and included a tennis court that was open to friends and relatives. Alice was well known for her many kindnesses, and her cooking was much in demand for church and school fetes. Her father, in his later years, lived mostly at this Esk home, regularly visiting his rural interests at Bia"a by horse and sulky, and she nursed him during his final illness in 1938. Alice died in the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane.
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.
