Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 19 Nov 1935
OBITUARY MRS. E. J. GALVIN. The death occurred early on Thursday morning of a very well-known and highly respected resident of North Wagga for many years, Mrs. Eliza Jane Galvin, of Elizabeth-st., North Wagga, after a long illness at the age of 88 years. Mrs. Galvin was formerly of "Oberne," Tarcutta, and was the widow of Mr. John Galvin, whom she married at Albury and who predeceased her on October 26, 1906. She was a daughter of Mr and Mrs. John O'Keefe, of Albury, and later of Umbango, and was born at Adelong. Mrs. Galvin leaves a family of four sons and two daugh ters — Messrs. William, of North Wagga.; Thomas and Ernest, of Ardlethan; and Sydney, of Sydney; and Mrs. George M'Farland and Mrs. George Birmingham, of North Wagga. There are seven grandchildren, 21 great-grand.children, and one great great-grandson. Mrs. Galvin was predeceased by two sons and two daughters, John and George Galvin, Eliza Jane Galvin and Mrs. Thomas (Rosina) Hounsell. Mrs. Thomas Galvin, who died recently, was a sister of the deceased. Mrs. Galvin was a very fine type of the early pioneer ing woman. She and her husband made their home in the virgin bush at Oberne and brought up their large family. She was a good wife and mother and a kind neighbor and friend, and many a weary traveller into the hills in the early days received kindness from her hands. Mrs. Galvin was also a devoted mem ber of her church.

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.
