- Notes: The Schwerdtmann side of the family was my initial interest in researching my mothers family history. Christian Schwerdtmann who arrived in Australia in 1880 and married Grace Noble has been the hardest to research. I paid Beyond History in Germany to identify his birth details. Due to war damage records are not intact. However his christening records and those of his siblings were found and the details forwarded to me. Also his mothers death record. The Great Exhibition in Sydney may have been the catalyst for Christian to come to Australia. What his exact role was is unclear.
I had contact with the Geisse family who are descendants of one of Christians sisters who married a Baron. I have also traced a brother to Oregon in the US. Cesar Schwerdtmann was a Carpenter and built up a Lumber business in Portland Oregon. From Newspaper clippings it seems he was a successful businessman.I have traced the burial details of his children. The family name seems to have disappeared about the time of WW2.

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.
