The Tumut and Adelong Times 15 Jan 1935
OBITUARY MR. GEORGE HENRY WHITE The death occurred in Queanbeyan last Saturday week, at the age of 74 years, of Mr. George Henry White, an old native of the district, who had lived in Queanbeyan for the last 21 years. The late Mr. White was born at Cupalumbalong, near Tharwa, in 1860, and was the eldest son of the late John Michael White. John Michael White and Richard Harris are credited with having been the discoverers of the Yarrangobilly Caves. When the Sir John Robertson Land Act of 1864 came into force, they were the first two selectors in these parts and both took up areas in the vicinity of Tharwa. Their farms are still held and worked by descendants. He and the late Richard Harris were also among the first to go to the Kiandra gold diggings. The late George White took up farming at Tharwa, where he selected his own property, but in 1912 he retired to live at Queanbeyan. He married Miss O'Donnell, of Ginninderra, who predeceased him. Although of a retiring disposition, Mr. White has many friends in Queanbeyan, where he was much esteemed. He leaves three daughters, Mrs. Tonkin, of Canberra, Mrs. Royal, of Queanbeyan, and Miss E. White, of Queanbeyan, and one son, Mr. George White, who is well known in the Federal Capital Territory as a local representative of the Mutual Life and Citizens' Assurance Company. The late Corville White, of Canberra, who died recently, was also a son of the deceased. Mr. John White, of Granville, and Mrs. Pettit, of Enfield, were brother and sister respectively of the deceased.

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.
