Personal Notes:
Philip Arentz and Phlhpplna Arentz arrived in Australia in 1856, travelling from Germany aboard the Commodore Perry Philip was then 44 and Philippina aged 34.
They were accompanied by the first six of their children;
>Martin Arentz (aged 14 and Philip’s child by an earlier marriage),
>Margaret Arentz (aged 9),
>Valentin Arentz (aged 8),
>Franz Arentz (aged 5),
>Peter Joseph Arentz, an infant, (later married Mary Goody and had eleven children. They lived in the Tumut district),
> Philip Arentz (aged 3 died on the voyage),
>John Jacob Arentz was the couple's first Australian born child. He married Ellen Welsh and also had eleven children. They lived in the Tumut district.

The family settled in the. Shoalhaven. Philip’s occupation was that of a v1nedresser and he had been Contracted to work on the young Vineyard that Alexander Berry was estabhshing on his estate Coolangaua in the Shoalhaven. While. liv1ng there they also engaged in farmingand dairymg. In about 1864 Phillip was gored by a bull and two years later, i1n 1866, died at Jindiandy from those injuries.

Around this time it is believed the four sons, Valentin Arentz (apparently known as Philip after his father’s death), Franz Arentz (known as Frank), Peter Joseph Arentz, and John Jacob Arentz went to the Kiandra gold rush and from there to Tumut. They each then engaged in farming. Frank Arentz also carried out road construction, Peter Arentz and John Arentz later were brickmakers.

In the Tumut Times of 28 January 1880 Peter Arentz advertised bricks for sale at his brickyards. John had brickyards along the Adelong Road near the present Sale Yards.

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.
