Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 7 Feb 1928
DEATH OF MR. FRANK FOORD. By the death of Mr. Frank Foord, which occurred at his residence, Merrivale-street, on January 29, in his 75th year, Tumut loses one of its oldest natives and a citizen of the fine old pioneering type. He was the son of the late Francis Foord, and married Miss Elizabeth Godfrey, daughter of the late George Godfrey sr, of Gocup, by which union there was issue one daughter, Gipsy (Mrs. Binger), both wife and daughter being left to mourn their loss. Mrs. Geo. Groves, Newtown, Sydney, Mrs. Thos Webb, Russell-st., Tumut, and Mrs. C. Pember, Newtown, Sydney, are deceased's sisters, and Messrs Percy (Pleasant Hills) and William (Tumut) are brothers. Deceased was a quiet unobtrusive man, who made many friends, but created no enemies. He possessed a great fund of information on many subjects, and there fore was an interesting conversationalist to those seeking information concerning the early history of the town and district. The funeral took place on Monday of last week, the remains being laid to rest in the Church of England portion of the Old Cemetery, Rev. T. A. Gair, the Rector, who officiated, making appropriate referenee to the life of deceased. Messrs Harry and Frank Foord (nephews), Israel and R. H. Hargreaves, Andrew Kell and Alan Munt were the coffinbearers. Messrs. Fuller and Burt conducted the mortuary duties.

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.
