OBITUARY MR. JAMES GOSLETT The death occurred on Friday last of Mr. James Goslett, an old identity of Micalong, at the age of 86 years. Deceased was born at Gundaroo and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Goslett, pioneers of that district. He went to Brindabella over 60 years ago, finally settling on his farming property at Micalong. He was a noted horse buyer during the Boer War, taking horses to the centres at Queanbeyan and Albury. He also worked on railway con struction jobs for some years and also in the early mining days at the Captain's Fiat diggings. He was one of the first men to use explosives in the mines there and helped to drive the famous Kinower tunnel. Deceased was one of the first to tap the great timber resources of the Micalong — Brindabella area and many, years ago established a pit-saw. He cut the timber for the mining races during the mining days at Brindabella. In re cent years he conducted one of the mail contracts in the Micalong district.

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.
