Personal Notes:

DEATH OF MRS. MICHAEL QUIRK
It is with regret we (Gundagai Times) record the death of Mrs. Michael Quirk, at the advanced age of 87 years. She had been a victim to paralysis for some months and succumbed to a change for the worse at noon on Sunday last, surrounded by her dearest friends and relatives. The funeral, which took place on Monday, was one of the largest and most representative ever seen in the district. The burial service was read by the Rev. Father Ryan.

The late Mrs. Quirk was a native of Tipperary, Ireland, having arrived here in 1841. By her death there is removed from our midst one of the connecting links of the past, when those rough experiences which were associated with the early pioneering days had to be encountered in the struggle for existence.

The late Mr. and Mrs. Quirk settled down at Darbalara. They were there when that little community was surrounded by the memorable flood of 52, and it was only at the greatest peril that Mr. Quirk succeeded in rescuing all that were there. They afterwards took up their abode on the Adjunbilly with their young family, where Mr. Quirk lived until the time of his death, some ten years ago, and from this place all the family are comfortably settled down within a comparatively small radius. Mrs. M. Quirk had since lived with her son, Mr. T. Quirk.

The deceased was the mother of eight children, six of whom survive her, and she left a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

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.
