OBITUARY MR. GEORGE HOLM No person in the Gundagai district was held in higher esteem than the late Mr. George Holm, of Jugiong, who, at the age of 72 years, died on Thursday week last. Deceased had been in ill-health for some consider able time, and although his passing was not unexpected it came as a shock to his family as he was in particularly good spirits on the Thurs day morning. A native of Denmark, deceased came to Australia many years ago. Possessing a most likeable disposi tion, he readily adapted himself to the conditions of his new land and proved himself amongst the best citiz ens ever to domicile in these parts. About 40 years ago deceased first made his acquaintance with the Gun dagai district, and became a very successful contractor, working on the eradication of rabbits on many of the properties in the Shire. In the 1920's he took over the licence of the Criterion Hotel at Gundagai and developed into one of the leading hotelkeepers. Later he transferred to the Hume Hotel at South Gundagai. It was whilst ho was associated with the business life of Gundagai that the late George Holm came to be widely known and respected for his broad outlook, hon esty and sincerity of purpose. A keen townsman, he took an active interest in local affairs and was al ways prompt in giving assistance to the worthy cause. Some few years ago deceased took over the management of the Jugiong Hotel, where he remained until the time of his death. Deceased married a member of the well-known Sheahan family (Mar garet) who, together with her two sons, Lance and William, and dau ghter Cath. (Mrs. Aub. Coggan) mourn the loss of a devoted husband and loving father.

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.
