Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 1 Mar 1927
LATE MRS. BRIDGET McGRATH Many of our longlived, esteemed old people have crossed the Great Divide within the past two years, but few had the privilege of living as long as Mrs. McGrath, who was within two years of the century at the time of her death. She was born in County Clair, Ireland, and was married and had two children when she and her husband decided to try new lands in the endeavour to better themselves, and chose Australia as their future home. So sixty-two years ago they landed in Australia, and shortly after went to Tumut, and have lived in Tumut and Adelong ever since. They were blessed with ten children — eight boys and two girls. Thirty-two years ago her husband passed away, and the good old lady has resided with members of her family ever since. She was a devoted mother, and a kind friend. When able to get about well, she was continually helping the sick and needy and many families had reason to be thankful to Mrs. McGrath for extreme kindness. The surviving children are: Patrick (Bombowlee), Thomas (Adelong), Daniel (Adelong), James (Mondongo), Miss Bridget (Adelong), Mrs. C. King (Tumut). Miss Bridget has always remained with the mother, and tenderly saw to all her requirements. Besides the remaining members of the family there are 31 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren. Her remains, were laid to rest in the Roman Catholic portion of the Tumut Cemetery.

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.
