Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 31 Jul 1919
Deaths. We regret to announce the d parture by death of that well known and highly respected pioneer resident, Mrs. H. Whatman, senr, at the age of 77 years, and which occurred at her old home, at Gadara, on Thursday, last, after an illness extending over about three months, through a growth on the liver. She had also been subject for some time past, to epileptic seizures. Dr. Clouston, when in Tumut, attended the patient for the liver trouble, and Dr. Browne had the case in hand later, doing all that medical aid could perform to prolong life, but the advanced age militated against success. Deceased was born in Ireland, and came to N.S. Wales when 6 years of age, her first abode, with her parents, being at Mittagong, where she remained until after her marriage. Her first home afterwards was at Gadara, where she and her late husband resided un til death ended their career. Mr. Whatman predeceased his wife about two years ago, after a period of 43 years in the one homestead. The eldest member of the family, James, died some time back, and those remaining to mourn the loss of an aged and loving mother are — Henry, William Sydney, Thomas (in Queensland), Robert John, Mrs. Power (Wagga), Mrs. McDonald (Sydney), Mrs. J. S. O'Sullivan, and Mrs. J. Wade. We sincerely sympathise with them over their sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Saturday, the interment taking place in the R.C. portion of the Adelong Cemetery Rev. Father Deenahan per forming obsequies at the graveside, and Mr. C. Passlow was the un dertaker.

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.
