Personal Notes:

The Mercury (Hobart) 26 Aug 1916
Royal Humane Society Awards for Brave Deeds in Tasmania
Douglas Joseph von Stieglitz Gravelly Beach, orchard assistant, aged 16, who risked his life in rescuing Wiliam Green, aged 12 from drowning in the River Tamar at Gravelly Beach on July 19, 1915 The boy fell off the jetty, and von Stieglitz, who was some distance away, heard cries for help. He ran along the jetty about 200 yards, and, seizing a lifebuoy, thew it towards the lad, and then plunged into the river fully clothed. The water was icy cold, and the ebb tide was carrying the boy away

Von Stieglitz swam to him, and, reach- ing him as he sank placed him on the lifebuoy and pushed him towards the jetty. He himself was so exhausted that he had to let go of the lifebuoy, and had sunk once when some men arrived in a boat. He was sinking again, but was secured, and both were helped into the boat.

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.
